History

Toyomane Station opened on 17 November 1935. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatisation of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987. Operations on the Yamada Line between Miyako Station and Kamaishi Station were suspended after the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. This segment of the Yamada Line have been rebuilt as of 2018. It was transferred to the Sanriku Railway upon completion on 23 March 2019. This segment joined up with the Kita-Rias Line on one side and the Minami-Rias Line on the other, which together constitutes the entire Rias Line.[1] Accordingly, this station became an intermediate station of Rias Line.
