History
The station opened on 20 December 1925 as Ise-Kambe Station on the Ise Railway's Kambe Branch Line. Through a sequence of corporate mergers it passed to Ise Electric Railway (1926), Sangū Express Electric Railway's Ise-Kambe Line (1936, renamed Nagoya Line in 1938), Kansai Express Railway's Nagoya Line (1941), and finally to Kintetsu (1944). On 8 April 1963 the line was extended to Hiratachō, renamed the Suzuka Line, and the station took its current name reflecting the city of Suzuka, Mie Prefecture. A station building was rebuilt in July 1967, PiTaPa came into service on 1 April 2007, and in July 2015 the in-station toilets were removed in favour of an attached FamilyMart concession.

Notes
Although Suzuka City has a dispersed urban structure, this station — the nearest to City Hall — bears the city's name on the Kintetsu network, while the busiest station on the Suzuka Line is actually the terminus at Hiratachō.
