Toro Station opened on 1 October 1983 on the Tōhoku Main Line (Utsunomiya Line), 33.3 km from the Tokyo terminus, after a local campaign for the station that dated back to the Taishō era and produced an all-party motion in the Ōmiya City council in March 1966. JR East absorbed the station at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways. Elevators reached the west exit in 2001 and the east exit in 2003, with a further elevator inside the ticket gates following in 2005; Suica use began on 18 November 2001, and the Midori no Madoguchi closed in October 2007. In April 2017 the station decor was themed around bonsai for the 8th World Bonsai Convention, the nearby Ōmiya Bonsai Art Museum being a major venue.

Boarding numbers in fiscal 2015 were 50.8% higher than in fiscal 2000, the third-largest growth on the Utsunomiya Line behind only Saitama-Shintoshin and Shin-Shiraoka.
