History
Todoroki Station opened on 13 December 1934 as a stop on the Japanese National Railways' (JNR) Gonō Line, serving the coastal village of Fukaura in Aomori Prefecture. The station became part of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) network after the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987. Set 76.0 km from the line's terminus at Higashi-Noshiro, it consists of a single side platform with a small wooden building erected directly on the platform. The station is unattended and, as of March 2015, was served by only five trains in each direction per day.

Notes
The station sits so close to the Sea of Japan that the platform fronts directly onto the water — a setting it shares with only a handful of other stops on the Gonō Line.
