History
Tsunozu Station opened on 25 December 1920 as the temporary terminus of the Imperial Railways San'in Main Line when the route was extended from Asari, and it became a through station on 1 September 1921 with the further extension to Hamada. Freight handling ceased on 7 November 1982 and parcel handling on 14 March 1985. With the breakup of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West, and it became unstaffed on 1 April 2005. The original 1920 wooden station building survives behind a later facade; the line's speed-up project replaced its turnouts with 100 km/h Y-points and converted the former third track into a siding used to load PC sleepers from a nearby factory.
