History
editSuzukashi Station opened on December 20, 1925, as Ise-Kambe Station (伊勢神戸駅, Ise-Kamebe eki) on the Ise Railway’s Kambe Spur Line.

After merging with Osaka Electric Kido on March 15, 1941, the line became the Kansai Express Railway's Nagoya Line.[2] This line was merged with the Nankai Electric Railway on June 1, 1944, to form Kintetsu. The line was renamed the Suzuka Line on April 8, 1963, at which time the station was renamed to its present name.[2]
