History
Tsukizaki Station opened on 1 September 1926 on the Kominato Line in what is now Ichihara, Chiba Prefecture, operated by the third-sector Kominato Railway. The wooden station building has stood since the station's first years and the platform was unstaffed from 1967 onward. From 15 August 2014 a simple delegated agency in a shop in front of the station resumed ticket sales, and on 18 November 2016 the original station building, its operating platform, and the disused former down-bound platform were recommended for registration as nationally Registered Tangible Cultural Properties. They were formally registered on 2 May 2017 under the Kominato Railway Tsukizaki Station designation.

Notes
An aging line maintenance shed near the platform has been repurposed as artist Takahito Kimura's permanent installation "Forest Radio Station," turning a piece of working railway infrastructure into open-air contemporary art.
