• Tsuyama Line: Makiyama ⇄ Bizen-Hara

Tamagashi Station opened on 21 December 1898 with the inauguration of the Chūgoku Railway main line (today's JR West Tsuyama Line) in what is now Kita-ku, Okayama. The rail operations of Chūgoku Railway were nationalised on 1 June 1944, bringing the station into Japanese Government Railways. Freight handling was abolished on 1 March 1962, parcel handling on 15 November 1971, and the station was unstaffed from the same date. At the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West. The original wooden building stood until the staff-office portion was demolished and the waiting room rebuilt at about half the previous footprint.

During partial reopening after the 2018 western Japan heavy rains, Tamagashi served as the Okayama-side turnaround point for trains using the still-disrupted Tsuyama Line.
