History
Tachiki opened on 25 April 1946 as Tachiki Signal Stop on the Ministry of Transport's San'in Main Line, between Wachi and Yamaga in Kyoto Prefecture, and was upgraded to a full passenger station on 1 November 1947. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1961, parcel handling and full staffing on 1 December 1971. With the division and privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West. It came under the Maizuru Rail Division on 1 April 1991, returned to direct Fukuchiyama Branch control in July 2006, and is today managed from Fukuchiyama Station. A timetable revision on 13 March 2021 restored stops by all local trains, after some had bypassed the station from 2012.

Notes
Tachiki is unusually un-streamlined for a rural San'in stop: its tracks were never converted to a single-pass layout, so both platforms diverge into Y-shaped points and reverse-direction departures are impossible.
