History
Toshima Station opened on 22 January 1924 as a station of the Atsumi Electric Railway in the village of Toyoshima, Aichi Prefecture. On 8 March 1924 the line was extended on to Kambe and Toshima became an intermediate stop. The operator was absorbed into Nagoya Railway (Meitetsu) on 1 September 1940, and the station joined the newly spun-off Toyohashi Railroad on 1 October 1954. Toshima was destaffed in October 1965 and remains an unstaffed local stop (number 14) on the Atsumi Line in Tahara, Aichi.

Notes
Toshima is largely a commuter and student-traffic stop; the Toyohashi Bus Irako Main Line runs along National Route 259 in front of the station, which sits in the Toyoshima district of Tahara surrounded by the Tōkai Tsukemono pickle plant and a Kamiya egg farm.
