History
Terauchi Station opened on 1 April 1912 as a Government Railway station on what is today's Mooka Line. Operations were outsourced from 5 September 1958, freight handling ended on 10 January 1963, and parcel handling on 10 March 1970, after which the station became unstaffed and was placed under simplified outsourcing to a local shop. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it joined JR East; from 31 March 1988 the outsourcing was discontinued and the station was made fully unstaffed, and on 11 April 1988 it transferred to the third-sector Mooka Railway.
