History
Tomioka Station opened on 23 August 1898 on what is now the Jōban Line, serving the town of Tomioka in Futaba District, Fukushima Prefecture. With the privatisation of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station came under the control of the East Japan Railway Company. On 11 March 2011 the station building was washed away by the tsunami that followed the Tōhoku earthquake, and the surrounding area became part of the evacuation zone around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Services resumed on 21 October 2017 with a new station building situated about 100 metres north of the original site, and the station became unstaffed on 14 March 2020.
