History
Tsukida Station opened on 11 December 1930 with the Railway Ministry's Sakubi Line (now the Kishin Line) extension from Chūgoku-Katsuyama to Iwayama, in what was then Tsukida, Katsuyama Town in Okayama Prefecture. The line became part of the Kishin Line in October 1936. Freight and parcel services ended in March 1973, and the station became a simple-contract station in November 1986. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR West, and the station building was rebuilt in 1994. In June 2011 the simple-contract arrangement was dissolved and the station became completely unstaffed. All trains, including rapid services, call at the station.

Notes
Tsukida was once the terminus of the express Mimasaka service from Osaka and had two opposed platforms, but one track was removed and the station now operates as a single-track stop served by a log-cabin-style building.
