History
Aizu-Tajima Station opened on 27 December 1934 as a Japanese government railway station on the Aizu Line, serving the former town of Tajima. Freight handling ended in 1982 and parcel service in 1984. The station briefly came under JR East on 1 April 1987 before being transferred to the Aizu Railway on 16 July of that year. Electrification of the line to Aizu-Kōgen-Ozeguchi was completed in 1990, and a new station building opened the same year. The station was recognised in 2002 as one of the Tōhoku Hundred Selected Stations. Through-services from the Yagan Railway terminate here, since the section onward to Nishi-Wakamatsu is not electrified.

Notes
In 2012 the station became the first in the region to recruit a Hungarian national among its staff, drawing local press attention.
