Location
History
Tsurui Station opened on 26 July 1894 as a stop on the privately operated Bantan Railway in what is now the town of Ichikawa, Hyōgo Prefecture. The line passed to the Sanyō Railway in 1903 and was nationalized in 1906, becoming part of the Bantan Line under JNR. Located 24.5 km from the line terminus at Himeji, the unstaffed station retained its original wooden building and now has two side platforms linked by a footbridge. JR West took over operations with the 1987 privatization, and ICOCA service was introduced in 2016.
Notes
The wooden station building dates from the station's opening in 1894, as does the station building at Kōro Station.
