Location
History
Toyooka Station opened on 10 July 1909 as the terminus of the Imperial Railway Agency's extension from Yōka, becoming an intermediate station on 5 September the same year when the line was extended to Kinosaki (now Kinosaki-Onsen). A line-naming reorganisation placed it on the Bantan Line in October 1909, then on the San'in Main Line from 1 March 1912. The Kita-Tajima earthquake of 23 May 1925 brought down the station and set off an explosion of the locomotive shed's tank in the station yard. On 15 December 1929 the Minetoyo Line, the predecessor of the Miyazu (now Miyatoyo) Line, opened as far as Kumihama. The station passed to JR West at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987; the Miyazu Line was transferred to the Kitakinki Tango Railway on 1 April 1990 and to Willer Trains on 1 April 2015. A new bridge-deck station building opened on 13 February 2011, and ICOCA service began on 13 March 2021.
Notes
Melodies themed on the Oriental white stork (kōnotori) have been played at the station since December 2006, "Yakusoku no sora e" on arrival and "Kagayaite! Kōnotori" on departure.
