History
Oribe Station opened on 1 April 2002 on Tarumi Railway's Tarumi Line, in the Yamaguchi district of Motosu, Gifu Prefecture, and carries the station number TR10. The station was constructed at the request of the former Motosu Town to serve the newly built Michi-no-Eki Oribe-no-Sato Motosu roadside station, at a reported cost of around 37 million yen. Its name honours Furuta Oribe, the Momoyama-era warrior and tea master traditionally regarded as a son of the area. The stop sits at 17.5 km from the line's terminus at Ōgaki, has a single side platform and a single bidirectional track, and is unstaffed with no station building.
