Shinrin-kōen Station opened on 1 March 1971 on the Tōbu Tōjō Line, in the town of Namegawa, Saitama Prefecture, to coincide with the start of operations at the Shinrin-kōen Inspection Depot. It is station TJ-30, located 52.6 km from the Ikebukuro terminus, and serves as a terminating station for many trains since the Inspection Depot (the main yard for the Tōjō and Ogose lines) is adjacent. Before the station opened, Higashi-Matsuyama (one stop toward Ikebukuro) was the turnback point; from the October 1977 timetable revision, those services were extended to terminate here. Station numbering was introduced on 17 March 2012, and on 18 March 2023 through-running to Shin-Yokohama and Shōnandai began via the Tōkyū and Sōtetsu networks.

Shinrin-kōen is the highest-ridership station on the Tōbu Tōjō Line west of Higashi-Matsuyama, and large park-and-ride parking facilities have grown up around it because so many trains terminate or originate here for the adjoining depot.
