History
Tokumaru Station is in the town of Yazu in Tottori Prefecture and is operated by the third-sector Wakasa Railway, 11.6 km from the Wakasa Line's terminus at Kōge. The station opened on 23 March 2002 between the existing Hattō and Tanpi stops as a new additional halt on the line. It consists of a single ground-level side platform serving a bidirectional track; there is no station building, no ticket machine, and no simplified-contract sales window of the kind found at other intermediate stations on the line. The platform shelter was refurbished in a wooden-look style in August 2020 under the supervision of industrial designer Eiji Mitooka, who was already responsible for the Wakasa Railway's tourist-train livery.

Notes
The platform shelter was given its current wooden-look refurbishment in August 2020 by Eiji Mitooka, the industrial designer behind JR Kyushu's Seven Stars cruise train and the Wakasa Railway's own tourist liveries.
