Wakamatsu-kawada Station opened on 12 December 2000 as a Toei Ōedo Line stop in Kawadachō, Shinjuku, sited between the former tram-stop locations of Wakamatsuchō and Kawadachō on the route inherited from Toden line 13, which had been abolished in 1970. The early working name was simply Wakamatsuchō Station, but Fuji TV's March 1997 move from Kawadachō to Daiba left the Kawadachō shopping district worried about decline, so the operator combined both place-names; the planned working name was kept as a prefix and Kawada appended. PASMO acceptance began on 18 March 2007. The station has a single underground island platform with two surface exits, Wakamatsu to the east and Kawada to the west.

The place-name Wakamatsuchō recalls how, in the Edo period, this locality presented young pine (wakamatsu) to the shogun's household each New Year, while in Kawadachō the "ta" is the paddy field and the "kawa" denotes the wetland that once covered the area. The name of Dango-zaka, the slope directly above the station, comes from the same marshy ground, where people and horses ended up caked in mud like dumplings.
