History[]
Tokuwa Station opened on December 31, 1894 as a station on the Sangu Railway Line. The line was nationalized on October 1, 1907, becoming the Sangu Line of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on October 12, 1909. On December 25, 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 July 15, 1959. The station has been unattended since December 21, 1983. With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station was absorbed into the JR Central network.
