No publicly available departure data for this station.

Okitsu Station opened on 1 February 1889 with the completion of the Tōkaidō Main Line section linking Shizuoka with Kōzu, on a site adjacent to Okitsu-juku, the 17th post-town of the old Tōkaidō. The seaside town quickly became a summer resort for Meiji- and Taishō-era aristocracy and politicians: the genrō Saionji Kinmochi's seaside villa Zagyo-sō stood close to the station, and visits from cabinet ministers became known as "Okitsu-mōde". The station building was rebuilt in 1930 and again in 1981. JR Central took over operations on 1 April 1987, TOICA contactless fares began on 1 March 2008, and the station was assigned number CA13 in March 2018.

The Meiji statesman Inoue Kaoru, who spent his later years at nearby Chōjasō villa, promoted Okitsu to an express stop during his lifetime; political visits to Saionji Kinmochi's Zagyo-sō villa by government officials and cabinet ministers were known as "Okitsu-mōde" (Okitsu pilgrimages).
