History
Tsuyamaguchi Station opened as Tsuyama Station (津山駅) on December 21, 1898 in Sarayama Village (incorporated into Tsuyama City in 1941) across the Yoshii River from Tsuyama Town. However, in 1923, the current Tsuyama Station opened in a more convenient location within Fukuoka Village (towns and villages centered on Tsuyama Town merged to form Tsuyama City in 1929). The station was renamed Tsuyamaguchi Station, on August 1, 1923. Until the Chugoku Railway was nationalized in 1944, this station was the border station between the Chugoku Railway and the Japanese Government Railway Sakubi Line (later Kishin Line branch line which became the Tsuyama Line). With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company. A new station building was completed in March 2020. The station is unattended.
