Takezawa Station is served by the unelectrified Hachiko Line between Komagawa and Takasaki, and is located 56.3 km from the starting point of the line at Hachiōji.[1]
The station originally had two opposed side platforms serving two tracks, forming a passing loop on the single-track line, with the station building located on the south side and the platforms connected by a footbridge.[1] From 15 October 2016, the up (for Komagawa) platform was decommissioned and the track removed, with trains in both directions using the remaining (former down) platform. The station is unattended.

The station opened on 6 October 1934.[2] With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.[2] The station building was rebuilt in 2008.[1]
In fiscal 2010, the station was used by an average of 31 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[3]
