History
Tsushima Station opened on 3 April 1898 as a terminus of the privately owned Bisai Railway in the city of Tsushima, Aichi Prefecture, on the same day as the line's opposing terminal at Yatomi. The Bisai operator merged with Meitetsu on 1 August 1925. Meitetsu's separate Shin-Tsushima Station on the Tsushima Line, opened in 1914, was consolidated into Tsushima Station on 25 October 1931. The station and the surrounding 1.6 km of track were elevated on 3 May 1968 and a station building containing a Meitetsu Store opened on 3 September the same year. The TranPass magnetic-card system was introduced on 14 July 2005 and Manaca on 11 February 2011. The station now serves both the Tsushima Line and the Bisai Line from a single island platform.

Notes
The former Meitetsu Pare department store inside the station building closed in 2000; its upper floors now host occasional Meitetsu railway parts auctions, but the operator has announced that the December 2025 auction will be the last to use the building.
