History
Toide Station's wooden station building was completed on 10 October 1896, and the station opened on 4 May 1897 when the Etchu Railway extended from a temporary Kuroda halt to Fukuno. The line was nationalised on 1 September 1920 as part of the Etchu Line, and in 1942 the Takaoka–Jōhana section was renamed the Jōhana Line. The footbridge was rebuilt in 1954 after wartime metal levy had forced removal of the original. Freight ended on 1 October 1970 and parcel service on 1 October 1984. JNR's privatisation passed the station to JR West in April 1987, and on 1 July 2001 ticket sales were transferred to the locally subsidised User Promotion Council. ICOCA service begins on 14 March 2026.
