• Toyohashi Railroad Atsumi Line: Kambe

The station opened on 10 June 1924 as Tahara Station (田原駅) on the privately held Atsumi Railroad, and was renamed Mikawa-Tahara on 1 June 1925. The line was extended a further 4 km east to Kurokawahara in April 1926, making the station an intermediate stop, but that section was suspended on 5 June 1944 with rails removed for wartime salvage, restoring Mikawa-Tahara to its terminal role. The Atsumi Railroad merged into Nagoya Railroad on 1 September 1940 and the route was transferred to Toyohashi Railroad on 1 October 1954. The current fourth-generation station building, designed by Tadao Andō Architect & Associates, opened on 27 October 2013, and the platform layout was expanded the following September.

Mikawa-Tahara is the southernmost railway station in the Chūbu region and in Aichi Prefecture. The current station building, designed by Tadao Andō, replaced a north-facing structure aligned with the now-abandoned Kurokawahara extension.
