• Naruto Line: Kyokaimae ⇄ Awa-Otani

Tatsumichi Station opened on 1 July 1916 as a stop on the privately run Awa Electric Railway (later Awa Railway) line from Furukawa to Muya, in what is today the city of Naruto, Tokushima Prefecture. Following the 1 July 1933 nationalisation of the Awa Railway the stop became a Japanese Government Railways station on the Awa Line. On 20 March 1935 Tatsumichi was reassigned to the Muya Line, later renamed the Naruto Line on 1 March 1956. Freight handling ceased on 1 April 1957 and the station was made unstaffed on 1 April 1970. With the 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation it passed to JR Shikoku as station N06. The single platform retains only an open-air waiting shelter.

The station name is unrelated to any nearby place called Tatsumichi; local accounts trace it to a transformation of "Tatsumi-chi" (south-east land) or to the visual impression of a notably straight 1.5-kilometre road south of the station, "the road that stands up", which residents folded into Tatsumichi.
