History
Tomizu Station opened on 1 April 1927 as a stop on the Odakyu Odawara Line, initially served only by direct expresses out of Shinjuku. From June 1945 it joined the regular all-stations stopping pattern, and successive rounds of express, semi-express and commuter-express stops were assigned and withdrawn through the 1946–1964 period. The station name comes from the local water resources of the Sakawa and Karigawa rivers, whose channels gave the area its name. Tomizu became a non-stop for the semi-express in March 2008 once the express took over local duties to Odawara; station numbering as OH 44 was added in January 2014.

Notes
The platform tops out at 120 metres — six 20-metre cars — so ten-car Odakyu services skip the station rather than overrun the ends.
