• Nanao Line: Kasashiho ⇄ Wakura-Onsen

Tatsuruhama Station opened on 31 October 1928 as part of the Ministry of Railways' Nanao Line extension between Wakura (now Wakuraonsen) and Noto-Nakajima. Located at the centre of the Tatsuruhama district of Nanao, it has long served commuters and students attending Tatsuruhama High School. Freight handling was abolished in 1976, baggage in 1984. Upon the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it came under JR West, and on 1 September 1991 the line was reassigned to the third-sector Noto Railway. The station carries the local nickname "Tategu no Machi Station", a reference to Tatsuruhama's traditional fittings (tategu) craft industry.

The station's nickname "Tategu no Machi Station" honours Tatsuruhama's traditional craft of making tategu, fittings such as sliding doors and lattices.
