History

Tokuwa Station opened on 31 December 1894 as a station on the Sangu Railway Line. The line was nationalized on 1 October 1907, becoming the Sangu Line of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on 12 October 1909. On 25 December 1930, the Ise Electric Railway Line connected to Tokuwa Station. This line merged with the Sangu Express Electric Railway in 1936, which was acquired by the Osaka Electrical Railway in 1941, and renamed the Kansai Express Railway. However, this company went out of business in 1942. The station was transferred to the control of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) Kisei Main Line on 15 July 1959. The station has been unattended since December 21, 1983. With the privatization of the JNR on 1 April 1987, the station was absorbed into the JR Central network.
