Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Tōfutsu Station opened on 15 December 1911 as a general station between Ikeda and Toyokoro on the Tetsudō-in's Kushiro Line, later the Nemuro Main Line. Migration to higher ground following local flooding had concentrated population at the site, and residents donated the land for the station. CTC was extended through the area in August 1971, and freight and parcel handling were withdrawn that October, leaving an unstaffed simple-commission stop. Passing-loop equipment was retired in March 1987, weeks before the JNR breakup transferred control to JR Hokkaido on 1 April 1987. Simple-commission status ended on 1 April 1992, making the station fully unstaffed.

The station's name comes from a place name derived from the Ainu "to-put" ("mouth of the marsh"); because it sounds the same as the English "ten dollars," a "10$ memorial board" was erected at the station in 2000.
