• Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line: Sanyo Himeji ⇄ Kameyama (Hyogo)

Tegara Station opened on 19 August 1923 on the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line, was closed on 20 July 1945 during wartime curtailment, and reopened on 1 August 1958 at a point 0.4 km closer to Kameyama. On 26 March 2006 it briefly served as a turnback station for trains from the Kobe direction during the day on which the up and down tracks were switched between Sanyo-Himeji and Tegara. The station, numbered SY 42, sits in Higashi-Nobusue, Himeji, Hyōgo Prefecture, 53.4 km from Nishidai along the line, and has two ground-level side platforms connected by a level crossing. Although unstaffed, it is fully mechanised with automatic gates, ticket machines, intercom and remote-operable equipment, supplemented by periodic patrols.

Tegara sits only 1.3 km before Sanyo-Himeji, on a curve sharp enough that down-direction direct-limited expresses begin braking before they reach it, even though they do not stop.
