History
Tado Station opened on 27 April 1919 in present-day Kuwana, Mie Prefecture, when the original Yōrō Railway extended its line from Kuwana to Yōrō. The station and line passed through a series of corporate mergers — Ibigawa Electric in 1922, Yōrō Electric Railway in 1928, Ise Electric Railway in 1929, Yōrō Electric in 1936, Sangū Express Electric Railway in 1940, Kansai Express Railway in 1941, and Kinki Nippon Railway (Kintetsu) in 1944 — reflecting the consolidation of central-Japan private rail operators in the early Shōwa period. On 1 October 2007 the Yōrō Line was spun off from Kintetsu into a new Yōrō Railway company, which now operates the station.

Notes
The station retains a side platform and an island platform totalling three tracks, but one half of the island platform is now disused — its rails cut and overhead wire removed — leaving the bay as a non-operational relic.
