• JR Kure Line: Kure-Portopia ⇄ Karugahama

Tennō Station opened on 27 December 1903 with the inauguration of the government-built line between Kaitaichi and Kure. It was leased to the Sanyō Railway in 1904 and returned to state operation in 1906 when the Sanyō Railway was nationalised; the 1909 line-name reform placed it on the Kure Line. Freight handling ended in 1963 and parcel handling in 1970, the same year the station was placed under contract management. The 1987 JNR privatisation transferred operation to JR West, and ICOCA service began on 1 September 2007. On 1 April 2018 Tennō was made unstaffed full-time, and after the July 2018 floods the line reopened in stages through that September.

The Tennō station building is the original 1903 wooden structure built when the government line was opened — the exterior has changed over the years, but it is still the building erected at the line's opening.
