History
Tendō Station opened on 23 August 1901 in the city of Tendō, Yamagata Prefecture, and serves the Ōu Main Line operated by East Japan Railway Company. Located 100.4 rail kilometres from Fukushima, the station was absorbed into the JR East network on 1 April 1987 after the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. A new station building was completed in September 1992, and the Yamagata Shinkansen began calling at Tendō on 4 December 1999, transforming the station into a regional stop on a mini-shinkansen service from Tokyo. The elevated platforms today serve three tracks and include a staffed Midori no Madoguchi ticket office.
