History
Terahara Station opened on 1 November 1913 as a stop on the privately operated Jōsō Railway, the line running south from Toride into Ibaraki Prefecture. In 1965 the Jōsō Railway merged with several neighbouring operators to become the Kantō Railway, which still operates the station today as part of its Jōsō Line. The station lies 2.1 km from the line's western terminus at Toride and serves a residential area of Toride city. It has two opposed side platforms linked to a ground-level station building by a level crossing rather than a footbridge or underpass, and remains unstaffed throughout the operating day.

Notes
Despite being on a private commuter railway feeding into greater Tokyo, the platforms are still connected only by a level crossing across the running line, rather than by an overbridge or underpass.
