History

Tottoridaigakumae Station serves the front gate of Tottori University in Tottori City on the San'in Main Line, 235.8 km from Kyoto. It was a requested station built at the prefecture's and city's urging to serve five schools and a developing residential area within roughly one kilometre; the third-sector Tottori Development Public Corporation funded the platform while the prefecture paid for the forecourt. Construction began in March 1995 under the working name Nishi-Koyama, and the station opened on 27 July 1995 between Koyama and Suetsune. From 13 March 2010 some limited-express services began stopping, and on 1 April 2024 the station was destaffed; ICOCA arrived on 15 March 2025.

Notes

Until 2025 a temporary "Victory Hakuto" express ran from Osaka to the station on the day before each Tottori University entrance exam, with a complementary "Victory Inaba" service from Okayama — both reserved-seat-only services aimed at would-be students.
