Tokiwadai Station is served by the Tobu Tojo Line from Ikebukuro in Tokyo. Located between Naka-Itabashi and Kami-Itabashi, it is 4.7 km from the Tokyo terminus at Ikebukuro Station. Only "Local" (all-stations) services stop at this station, with eight trains per hour in each direction during the daytime.
The station consists of a single island platform serving two tracks. Entrances are located on the north and south sides of the station. The station has universal access toilet facilities.
The station opened on 20 October 1935 as Musashino-Tokiwa Station (武蔵野常盤駅?). It was renamed Tokiwadai on 1 October 1951.
From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tobu Tojo Line, with Tokiwadai Station becoming "TJ-06".
In fiscal 2010, the station was used by an average of 46,297 passengers daily.
Tokiwadai Station suffers from a high number of suicides, due to the relatively high speed and frequency of non-stop trains passing through the station. Between 2002 and 2009, three people were killed by passing trains after jumping onto the tracks.
