History
Tomiura Station opened on 10 August 1918 in what is today Minamibōsō City in Chiba Prefecture, on the line now known as the Uchibō Line. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1962. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East. A new station building was completed on 22 March 1995. The station became part of the Suica greater-Tokyo zone on 14 March 2009, when it was also incorporated into the Tokyo Suburban Area for fare purposes. The at-grade station has a single island platform connected to the station building by a footbridge and is operated as a simple-contract station by JR East Station Service, managed from the Kisarazu Hub Center based at Tateyama Station.

Notes
There is another Tomiura Station on JR Hokkaido's Muroran Main Line, and a few local trains each day manage to call at both same-named stations in a single run.
