History
Toyoshina Station opened on 6 January 1915 on the Shinano Railway, with the inaugural service between Matsumoto-shi Station (today's Kita-Matsumoto) and Toyoshina, in what is today Azumino, Nagano Prefecture. The line was nationalised on 1 June 1937 and renamed the Ōito Line on 15 August 1957 when the Nakatsuchi - Kotaki section completed the route. Freight handling ended on 15 January 1984, parcel handling on 1 February, and the station passed to JR East on 1 April 1987. Automated gates entered service on 27 March 2006, the station building was refurbished in 2007, and its façade was remodelled in Swiss-Alpine style in March 2010. The Midori no Madoguchi window closed on 30 September 2023; Suica IC service began on 15 March 2025.
Notes
Toyoshina is the principal station of Azumino, yet its daily boarding figures sit below those of nearby Hotaka, Minami-Toyoshina and Akashina; the platform and forecourt display two sculptures by Hiroatsu Takata, including "Standing Female Nude" on the platform.
