History
Tokuwa Station opened on 31 December 1894 on the privately-built Sangu Railway, one year after the line itself was inaugurated. The Sangu Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1907 and became the Sangu Line of the Japanese Government Railways on 12 October 1909. From 25 December 1930 the station was also served by the Ise Electric Railway, which after successive mergers became part of the Kansai Express Railway before that operation was wound up in 1942. The station became part of the Kisei Main Line under the Japanese National Railways on 15 July 1959, was destaffed on 21 December 1983, and passed to JR Central with the JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987.
