Tsuge Station (柘植駅, Tsuge-eki) is a train station of West Japan Railway Company (JR-West) in Iga, Mie Prefecture, Japan. It is located 79.9 rail kilometres from the terminus of the Kansai Main Line at Nagoya Station and 20.0 rail kilometers from Kameyama Station and is 36.7 rail kilometers from the opposing terminus of the Kusatsu Line at Kusatsu Station.

History

Tsuge Station was opened on February 18, 1890 with the extension of the Kansai Railway from Mikumo Station, making it the oldest station within Mie Prefecture. The Kansai Railway was extended to Yokkaichi Station on December 25, 1890 and to Ueno Station on January 15, 1897. The line was nationalized on October 1, 1907, becoming part of the Imperial Government Railways (IGR), which became Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued from August 1, 1972. With the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of JR-West.
