Tsu Station opened on 4 November 1891 as a stop on the privately-owned Kansai Railway's Tsu branch from Kameyama. Nationalised on 1 October 1907, the line was renamed the Sangū Line in 1909. The Sangū Express Electric Railway (today the Kintetsu Nagoya Line) reached Tsu on 3 April 1932, and further mergers folded it into Kintetsu in 1944. The fourth-generation "people's station" building opened in stages during February and March 1973. The JNR Ise Line began service from Tsu in September 1973 and was spun off to the third-sector Ise Railway in March 1987. JR Central took over the JR portion on 1 April 1987, and TOICA is scheduled to debut in spring 2027.

Written in kana or kanji, "津" is the shortest station name in Japan - a single character that drove a 1990s campaign to register it with Guinness World Records as the shortest in the world.
