History
Tamatsukuri-Onsen Station opened as Yumachi Station on 7 November 1909, when the state-built line was extended west from Matsue to Shinji, in present-day Matsue, Shimane Prefecture. It was renamed Tamatsukuri-Onsen on 11 May 1949 after the hot-spring resort 2 km to the south. Freight handling ended in 1962 and parcel handling in 1984. The station passed to JR West at the JNR breakup on 1 April 1987. The original 1935 wooden station building was retained but reroofed in copper sheeting in September 2012 to evoke nearby Tamatsukuri-yu Shrine. The station became unstaffed on 1 April 2023, and a credit-card-only "Midori" ticket machine was added on 21 March 2025.
Notes
The 2012 renovation gave the 1935 wooden station building a copper-plate roof shaped after the roof of nearby Tamatsukuri-yu Shrine, the source of the Tamatsukuri hot springs.
