History
Tobe Station opened on 26 December 1931 on what is today the Keikyū Main Line. The current elevated station building has an island platform serving two tracks, sized to accommodate trains of up to six cars. From 2007 to 2011 the main entrance and ticket gate were closed while seismic-reinforcement work on the platform underside was carried out, with a temporary entrance positioned in the middle of the building; the wall of the suppressed entrance was used to display panels showing Keikyū rolling stock. Station numbering KK38 was introduced on 21 October 2010. A sharp 40 km/h curve immediately north of the station forces non-stopping trains to crawl through.

Notes
Immediately north of Tobe there is a 40 km/h speed restriction on a sharp curve, so even Keikyū Limited and Limited Express trains that bypass the station must crawl past it.
