History
Toda Station opened on 26 June 1938 at Mizusato 3-chōme, Nakagawa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, when the Kansai Express Railway (Kansai Kyūkō Dentetsu) opened the section between Kuwana and Kankyū-Nagoya (now Kintetsu Nagoya). On 1 January 1940 the parent Sangū Express Railway absorbed the Kansai Express Railway. On 15 March 1941 the Ōsaka Electric Tramway merged the Sangū Express Railway to form the Kansai Express Railway (Kansai Kyūkō Tetsudō), with the station being designated a Nagoya Line stop under the line-name revision. On 1 June 1944 the Kansai Express Railway merged with the Nankai Railway (now the Nankai Electric Railway predecessor) to form Kinki Nippon Railway (Kintetsu). The PiTaPa IC card came into service on 1 April 2007 (ICOCA, which has mutual interoperability with PiTaPa, also became usable at the same time). In March 2020 a station building and ticket gate were installed on the platform 1 side.

Notes
Although Toda Station has a slightly more frequent service than the nearby JR Haruta Station (about 1.5 km to the north-east on the Kansai Main Line), it sees fewer passengers because access is poorer; the same-named Nagoya City Bus stop "Toda" is about 1 kilometre north-west of the station, not adjacent.
