The station consists of four ground-level platforms serving six tracks, connected by pedestrian footbridges. The JR uses one island platform and one side platform and the Kintetsu portion has one island platform. The Ise Railway uses a single bay platform.
Tsu Station opened on November 4, 1891, as a station on the Tsu spur line of the privately owned Kansai Railway. The line was nationalized on October 1, 1907, becoming the Sangū Line of the Japanese Government Railways on October 12, 1909. On April 3, 1932, the Sangū Express Electric Railway began operations at Tsu Station. This line underwent various changes in ownership, eventually becoming the Kintetsu Nagoya Line in 1944. The station was transferred to the control of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) Kisei Main Line on July 15, 1959. The JNR Ise Line began operations on September 1, 1973. The station was absorbed into the JR Central network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, with the Ise Line spun off to the private sector a few days earlier.
