Tsukioka Station opened on 2 September 1912 as Tenno-Shinden Station on the Shin'etsu Line branch between Niitsu and Shibata, 17.8 kilometres from Niitsu. The branch passed through a succession of names — becoming the Murakami Line in 1914, then absorbed into the Uetsu Line in 1924, then renamed Uetsu Main Line in 1925. The station took its present name Tsukioka on 1 September 1950. Delivery of baggage and parcels was discontinued in 1969, freight handling ended in 1972, parcel handling itself ended on 1 February 1984, and the station was destaffed on 14 March 1985. It passed to JR East with the JNR breakup of 1 April 1987 and accepted Suica from 15 March 2008. The station has one island platform with only one side now in use.

Tsukioka Onsen is not within walking distance of the station: the hot-spring resort lies about ten minutes away by bus or taxi.
