History
Taneichi Station opened on 10 November 1924 on the Hachinohe Line, serving the central area of the former town of Taneichi (now part of Hirono) in Iwate Prefecture. Freight operations were discontinued on 20 September 1982 and baggage handling on 1 February 1984. Upon the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japan National Railways the station came under the operational control of East Japan Railway Company (JR East). The passing loop was removed on 16 October 2004 and the station became a single bidirectional track. The Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket office closed on 17 March 2023 and the station was unstaffed from the following day. A renovation of the building and a centenary event were held on 9 November 2024.
Notes
The station building was transferred from JR East's Morioka Branch to the town of Hirono in June 2024 and renovated as a community hub for tourism, with the completed work unveiled at a ceremony on 9 November 2024 marking the station's centenary.
