History

Bizen-Tai Station opened on 1 January 1939 on the Uno Line between Hachihama and Uno, in what is now Tamano, Okayama Prefecture. The station was suspended on 1 November 1940 and reopened on 15 November 1950. The Uno Line was electrified on 1 October 1960, and on the same day a passing loop was added and the station became staffed. It reverted to an unstaffed station on 1 May 1970 following the introduction of centralised traffic control on 5 April. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West. ICOCA support was extended to the line on 16 March 2019.

Notes

In October 2016 the waiting room was repainted as part of the Setouchi Triennale's "JR Uno-Minato Line Art Project," with a design by the Italian artist Esther Stocker — a contemporary-art installation grafted onto a small commuter station.
