History
Tsuzumigataki Station opened on 13 April 1913 as Tsuzumigataki Station on what is now Nose Electric Railway's Myōken Line, originally located alongside a section of the old Route 173 that the line shared as a tramway. The name was simplified in writing in 1965, and on 25 May 1969 the station was relocated to its present site, with the line double-tracked from 5 October 1969 and reclassified under the Local Railway Law. The kanji rendering changed again in March 2006 and barrier-free works completed in February 2011 added separate ticket gates on each platform. The station has two opposed platforms serving up to four-car trains, and is unstaffed.

Notes
The station is named after the 30-metre waterfall that once stood nearby and whose sound was likened to a drum (tsuzumi). The station's kanji rendering itself has been rewritten three times to keep up with changing standards.
