History
Mikawa Toba Station opened on 11 August 1929 as a terminal station of the Mikawa Railway, in what is now the Toba district of Nishio, Aichi Prefecture. The line later passed to Meitetsu, and the station became a through stop on the present-day Gamagori Line, 3.2 kilometres from the Kira Yoshida terminus. It has been unstaffed since February 1967. The station has two opposed side platforms connected to the station building by a level crossing and accommodates trains of up to four cars. It is equipped with automated ticket machines and an intercom for inter-station staff support, but Manaca IC cards are not accepted here. Trains typically pass each other at this station.

Notes
Although manaca smart cards are accepted across the Meitetsu network, Mikawa Toba is one of the exceptions: the station has no manaca turnstiles and tickets must be bought from the platform vending machine.
