History

Tokiwa Station opened on 1 June 1925 as a halt on the Ube Railway, on the stretch between Tokonami and Kusae stations. The Ube Railway was nationalised on 1 May 1943, becoming the Ube Higashi Line, and the halt was upgraded to a full station at the same time. The line was renamed the Ube Line on 1 February 1948, and the station became unstaffed on 1 October 1971. Following the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways, operation passed to JR West. In 2020 the station building and the older waiting shelter were both demolished, leaving only a small shelter on the platform.

Notes

The platform sits within sight of the runway at Yamaguchi Ube Airport, so passengers waiting for trains hear aircraft taking off and landing nearby.
