History

Tōgane Station was opened on June 30, 1900 as a terminal station on the Bōsō Railway. The line was nationalized on September 1, 1907 and became part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR). The terminal station was extended from Tōgane to Ōami on October 12, 1909 and in the opposite direction to Narutō by November 1, 1911. From November 25, 1926 to March 1, 1961, the station was also a terminal for the now-defunct Kujukuri Railway. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987.
