History
Suzumeda Station opened as a temporary stop on 16 May 1929 with the inauguration of the Ube Electric Railway between Okinoyama-Kyūkō and Shin-Okiyama. A branch to what is now Nagato-Motoyama opened on 21 January 1937, and the stop was upgraded to a full station the same day. Through company mergers Suzumeda passed to Ube Railway in 1941 and was nationalised in 1943. Following extensions and re-routing, the route was renamed the Onoda Line in 1948. JNR's 1 April 1987 privatisation transferred the station to JR West, and in 2018 a community refurbishment by the Onoda Junior Chamber and local university students repainted the station building's roof and guttering orange, the school's colour.
Notes
Suzumeda is the junction where the Onoda Line forks; the two single-track platforms diverge in a Y-shape with a small station building wedged between them, and the platform numbers are announced only over the automated passenger broadcast.
