• Joetsu Line: Ino (Gunma) ⇄ Takasaki

Takasakitonyamachi Station opened on 16 October 2004 as an infill station on the Jōetsu Line, 2.8 km from Takasaki. The station name derives from the adjacent Takasaki Wholesale Retailer Industrial Estate ("tonyamachi"), and the building is elevated above the platforms at right angles, with two named entrances — Tonya on the west and Kaizawa on the east. JR East operates a Midori no Madoguchi reserved-ticket office on the concourse. The station serves Jōetsu Line trains and through-running services that branch onto the Agatsuma Line toward Ōmae and the Ryōmō Line toward Oyama.

The station opened to serve the adjacent wholesalers' industrial estate that gives the stop its name — an unusually direct, name-and-all link between a local commercial association and a JR East station.
