History
Tsukada Station opened on 27 December 1923 as a stop on the Hokusō Railway's Funabashi Line in present-day Funabashi, Chiba. Its operator was renamed Sōbu Railway on 22 November 1929 and was absorbed by Tōbu Railway on 1 March 1944 under wartime land-transport rationalisation, making this a Tōbu Funabashi Line stop. The Funabashi Line was merged into Tōbu's Noda Line — today branded as the Tōbu Urban Park Line — on 16 April 1948. The station now has two side platforms serving two tracks beneath a bridge-style building. A station refurbishment completed on 29 March 2007 replaced the old gender-segregated pit toilets with flush facilities, added a universal-design toilet, and installed lifts linking each side exit and the platforms with the concourse level.

Notes
The station name traces back to the old Tsukada Village in Higashikatsushika District — itself named after the three hamlets of Gyōda, Maekaizuka and Atokaizuka (now Asahichō) from which the village was formed before its 1937 merger into Funabashi.
