History

Tomihara Station opened on 11 December 1930 as part of the Railway Ministry's Sakubi Line (now the Kishin Line) extension between Chūgoku-Katsuyama and Iwayama, in what was then Tomihara Village. The line was reorganised into the Kishin Line in October 1936. Freight handling ended in 1963 and parcel service in February 1984, and at the end of March 1984 the station became a simple-contract (kan'i itaku) station. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station passed to JR West, and management was subsequently entrusted to Katsuyama Town. The station building was rebuilt in 1994. In October 2019 the simple-contract arrangement was dissolved and the station became fully unstaffed.

Notes

The wooden station building that stands today was rebuilt by Katsuyama Town in 1994 at a cost of around 24 million yen as a hipped-roof single-storey timber structure.
