History
Tajibe Station opened on 11 December 1930 with the Railway Ministry's Sakubi Line (now the Kishin Line) extension from Chūgoku-Katsuyama to Iwayama, in what was then Tajibe Village in Atetsu District. The line was reorganised into the Kishin Line in October 1936. Freight handling ended in March 1962, parcel service ended in March 1973 and the station became a simple-contract station at the same time. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West, and on 1 March 2011 the simple-contract arrangement was dissolved and the station became completely unstaffed. The station consists of a single ground-level side platform with a wooden building, today managed remotely from Niimi Station.

Notes
Until early 2011 tickets at the unstaffed station were sold from a window in a private house directly across from the station building, the last vestige of the simple-contract arrangement.
