Station history
editTomida Station was opened on July 5, 1894, as a station on the Kansai Railway. The Kansai Railway was nationalized on October 1, 1907, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) and the Sangi Railway Line connected to this station on July 23, 1931. The JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. Freight car operations on the JNR were discontinued November 15, 1982. The station was absorbed into the JR Central network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987.
Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Kansai Main Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Tomida Station was assigned station number CI09.[1][2]
