History
Takatsuka Station traces back to 31 March 1911, when a signal point was placed on the Tōkaidō Main Line between Hamamatsu and present-day Maisaka. It was renamed Takatsuka Signal Station in 1922 and upgraded to a full passenger station on 1 July 1929. A private siding to Enshū Loom (now Enshū Co., Ltd.) was added in 1934, and electrification of the Hamamatsu–Toyohashi section followed in 1957. Regular freight service ended in 1971 and was fully discontinued in 1983. After the 1987 privatisation of JNR the station passed to JR Central, which opened a bridge-style station building and a north-south concourse on 1 March 2015 as part of a roughly five-billion-yen redevelopment. Station numbering CA35 followed in March 2018.

Notes
Until the 1991 merger of Kami Village into Hamamatsu, Takatsuka was the only "station in a village" left on the entire Tōkaidō Main Line; the village name is preserved in Suzuki Motor's Takatsuka Plant northeast of the platforms.
