Tarou

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Tarō Station serves the Sanriku Railway Rias Line in Miyako, Iwate Prefecture, 104.7 rail kilometres from the line's terminus at Sakari. It opened on 27 February 1972 as a Japanese National Railways station and, on 1 April 1984, transferred to the Sanriku Railway Company with the line's privatisation. In the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, part of the track and a station building on the line were swept away, suspending services on a portion of the Sanriku Railway; the section from Miyako to Tarō reopened on 20 March 2011 and the section onward from Tarō on 29 March 2011. On 23 March 2019 the unification of the Minami-Rias Line, part of the JR Yamada Line, and the Kita-Rias Line into the Rias Line made the stop an intermediate station of that route.
