Tsubata Station opened on 1 November 1898 as a stop on the Imperial Government Railway extension from Kanazawa to Takaoka, in present-day Tsubata, Ishikawa Prefecture. The Nanao Railway began operating into the station on 2 August 1900, and Tsubata has been the starting point of the Nanao Line since the line-name system was established in October 1909. The second and current station building opened on 1 December 1982, and a Midori no Madoguchi ticket office began service on 15 March 1989. With the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension to Kanazawa on 14 March 2015, ownership of the through line passed from JR West to the new third-sector IR Ishikawa Railway, and Tsubata became a joint station between IR Ishikawa Railway and JR West.

The concrete station building is shaped to evoke the Noto Peninsula, and a bronze ox near the ticket gates references the medieval Kurikara Pass battle stratagem of fitting torches to oxen's horns.
