History
Tadachi Station began on 3 December 1929 as Tadachi Signal Stop on the Chūō Main Line in the town of Nagiso, Nagano Prefecture, 304.3 km from the line's origin at Tokyo and 92.6 km from Nagoya. It was elevated to a full passenger station on 1 September 1948 to handle scheduled stops on what had been a signal-only point. On 25 May 1973 the facility was relocated 150 m toward Sakashita Station from its original site, accompanying the realignment of the line through the area. With the 1 April 1987 dissolution of Japanese National Railways it passed to JR Central. The station today consists of two opposing ground-level side platforms connected by a footbridge and is unattended.

Notes
Tadachi spent its first 19 years as a signal stop before being upgraded to a passenger station in 1948 — and then was bodily moved 150 m down the line in 1973 when the surrounding right-of-way was realigned.
