History

Mimasaka-Kamo Station opened on 15 March 1928 as the terminus of the Ministry of Railways' Inbi South Line, then in Higashi-Kamo Village in Okayama Prefecture. A 12 September 1931 extension to Mimasaka-Kawai made it an intermediate stop, and on 1 July 1932 the route became part of the through Inbi Line. Freight handling ended in 1970 and parcel service in 1984. The station passed to JR West at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. In 2000 it became a simplified-commission station, and on 15 June 2003 the current wooden station building was completed. After the 2005 merger that incorporated Kamo into Tsuyama, the station is now in Tsuyama City.

Notes

Mimasaka-Kamo is the only intermediate station on the Okayama-side stretch of the Inbi Line that has a passing loop, and several Tsuyama-bound services turn back here.
