[4] Tsuruwa Station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks.

There is no station building, but each platform has a weather shelter for waiting passengers.

On either side of the level crossing, separate ramps lead up to each platform.

[2][3][5] Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened Tsuruwa Station on 1 October 1961 as an added stop on the existing Kōtoku Line.

With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, JR Shikoku assumed control and the stop was upgraded to a full station.
