History
Suzukakedai Station opened on 1 April 1972 as the temporary terminus of the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line's extension from Tsukushino, initially a single-track halt with one platform face. The section between Nagatsuta and the approach to Tsukimino was double-tracked when the line was pushed on to Tsukimino on 15 October 1976. Platform elevators were added in 2001, platform screen doors began operating on 22 December 2019, and from the 1 October 2019 timetable revision Suzukakedai became a Semi-Express stop.

Notes
The name 'Suzukake' was suggested by Tokyo Institute of Technology, whose nearby Yokohama campus opened around the same time — a professor proposed naming the station after the plane tree (suzukake-no-ki) said to fill Plato's Academy.
