• Tsuyama Line: Obara (Okayama) ⇄ Yuge

Tanjōji Station opened on 21 December 1898 with the inauguration of the Chūgoku Railway Main Line, predecessor of today's Tsuyama Line. The Chūgoku Railway's rail division was nationalised on 1 June 1944, bringing the station into the JNR Tsuyama Line. Freight handling ended in 1962 and parcel service in 1971, when the station was made unstaffed. In 1974 the building itself was transferred from JNR to the town of Kumenan, and a 2004 refurbishment re-tiled the roof, added an accessible toilet and ramps to the platform. JR West took over with the 1987 privatisation. The station sits 43.5 kilometres from Okayama on a single side platform.

The wooden station building dates to the station's opening in 1898 and remains in everyday use.
