History
Kuniya Station opened on 11 August 1931 as part of the Tobu Utsunomiya Line in Mibu, Tochigi Prefecture. Operated by Tobu Railway since opening, it sits 10.8 km from the line origin at Shin-Tochigi and serves as a small wayside stop with two opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing. On 17 March 2012 Tobu rolled out system-wide station numbering and the station was designated TN-34. A simple PASMO IC reader has been installed at the wooden station building on the Tobu-Utsunomiya side, but the station is otherwise unstaffed.

Notes
The platforms are still arranged in a staggered, offset layout - a survivor of the era when tablet exchanges required up and down trains to stop close together.
