History
Tōtōmi-Ichinomiya Station opened on 1 June 1940 as part of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) Futamata Line, when the line was extended westward from Enshū-Mori to Kanasashi. Located in the town of Mori in Shizuoka Prefecture, the station has two opposing side platforms linked by a level crossing rather than a footbridge. Its wooden station building, completed for the 1940 opening, has remained in continuous service and was designated a Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 2011. Following the 1987 privatisation and breakup of JNR, operations passed on 15 March 1987 to the third-sector Tenryū Hamanako Railroad, which continues to run the line today.

Notes
The 1940 timber station building was added to Japan's Registered Tangible Cultural Property list in 2011, preserving it as an example of pre-war wooden rural station architecture still in active service.
