History
Tachita Station opened on 7 September 1927 on what is now the Kōnan Railway Kōnan Line, serving the city of Hirakawa, Aomori Prefecture. The station was made a consignment stop in October 1974 and freight operations ended in 1984. On 25 August 1997 an up train bound for Hirosaki, which was due to pass an oncoming service at the station, left past a red signal after its driver forgot that the down train was still arriving, and the two collided head-on near the points in the station precincts, injuring 32 people; the driver was later given a suspended sentence for endangerment through professional negligence. The station has been unstaffed since 1 April 2006. The platform is a single island serving two tracks, connected to the station building by a level crossing.
