Location

History

Tokishi Station is on the JR Central Chūō Main Line in Toki, Gifu, 353.7 km from the line's official starting point in Tokyo. It opened on 21 December 1902 as Tokitsu Station when the government railway extended its line from Tajimi to what is now Nakatsugawa. In January 1922 the privately operated Dachi Railway opened its own adjacent Shin-Tokitsu Station, which was consolidated into the national railway's Tokitsu Station in March 1928, the two companies thereafter sharing the station. The station was renamed Tokishi on 1 July 1965 to reflect the surrounding municipality, and at JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR Central. The TOICA IC card became usable from 25 November 2006.

Notes

Until 1972 the Tono Railway's Dachi Line shared the station; service ended when a bridge washed out that July, and the line was formally closed in October 1974 after repair attempts failed.
