History
The station opened on 1 April 1927 as Ōne Station on Odakyu's Odawara Line, stopping 'direct' trains. After successive additions of semi-express in 1946, commuter-semi-express in 1960, and express service from 18 December 1972, the station was elevated to a bridge-style building and renamed Tōkaidaigaku-mae on 9 March 1987, when Tōkai University funded the new building. Rapid-express service began on 11 December 2004, and station numbering as OH38 was introduced in January 2014. A station-front plaza and pedestrian deck were completed on 4 April 2008. The south exit gained additional bus bays on 16 December 2024.

Notes
Ōne Station was renamed Tōkaidaigaku-mae in 1987 after the university paid for the bridge-style rebuild; the same era saw Tōkai pay JNR for Tōkaigakuen-mae Station in Kumamoto.
