History
Toyosato Station opened on 19 March 1899 as a temporary halt of the Ohmi Railway, on land donated by local magnate Itō Chūbei after villages in the surrounding district contested its precise location. A permanent station building was completed on 14 April 1906, with land provided by Yatsume hamlet and donations from local residents. The line became Ohmi Railway's Main Line in March 1944. Freight handling ended in October 1972, the station building was rebuilt in April 1996, and the station has been unstaffed since 1 March 2018. The station is numbered OR11 on the Main Line, branded the Kotō-Ōmiji Line.
Notes
The station is the nearest stop to the former Toyosato Elementary School buildings, the real-life model for the high school in the anime "K-On!"; on event days Ohmi Railway re-staffs the station and adds special trains to handle visiting fans.
