Tomine

Tomine Station opened on 25 January 1907 as a station on the Japanese Government Railways, serving the village of Tomine in what is now Noshiro, Akita Prefecture. After parcel handling ended on 1 October 1971 the station was made unstaffed, though a daytime ticket clerk was kept on until February 1972. From March 1972 the "Tomine Nōkyō Super Store" inside the station building took over consigned ticket sales; that store closed in March 2006 and the station has been fully unstaffed since. The station building was rebuilt in 2008. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it joined JR East as an Ōu Main Line station 365.5 km from Fukushima.

For 34 years the ticket window at Tomine was run not by railway staff but by an agricultural-cooperative grocery store that occupied the station building from 1972 until 2006.
