History
Kawagoe Tomisuhara Station opened on January 30, 1929 as Tomitsuhara Station, a stop on the Ise Railway in what is now Mie Prefecture. Successive corporate mergers transferred the line: it became part of the Sangu Express Electric Railway in 1936, the Kansai Express Railway in 1941, and finally Kintetsu in 1944. In 2009 the station was renamed Kawagoe Tomisuhara after Kawagoe town funded its rebuilding into an elevated structure, and an elevated station building opened in 2010. The station today serves the Kintetsu Nagoya Line with four tracks across two island platforms.

Notes
The 1945 wooden station building was considered a candidate for cultural-property preservation but was dismantled when the station was rebuilt in elevated form.
