History
Tsurudomari Station opened on September 25, 1918 as a station on the privately operated Mutsu Railway, in the Tsuruta area of what is now Aomori Prefecture. The line was nationalised on June 1, 1927, bringing the station into the Japanese National Railways. With the 1987 privatisation, operational control passed to JR East. The station sits 97.4 kilometres along the Gonō Line from Higashi-Noshiro. After a period of simplified-consignment operation by JA Itayanagi, the station was fully de-staffed on April 1, 2015; the old building was demolished in early September 2019 and a new 15.5-square-metre wooden building entered service on March 13, 2020, with a crane-motif design on its front window.
