Tanokuchi Station opened on 12 April 1931 as one of the original stations of the Ōigawa Main Line, in what is today Kawanehon Town in Shizuoka Prefecture. The wooden station building dates from that opening year. The station was made unstaffed in February 1970, with the ticket window boarded over. In 2005, as a model station under a joint scheme with the Japan Private Railway Association to promote station buildings as location-shooting venues, the original ticket window was restored, timber benches were installed and the platform and station-building roofs were repaired, returning the structure to something close to its 1931 appearance. A typhoon-induced landslide in September 2022 caused services through the station to be suspended.

The 1931 wooden station building has been preserved in near-original condition, retaining much of the atmosphere of the early Shōwa period, and is regularly used as a filming location for films and television dramas.
