Ani-Maeda-Onsen Station opened on 15 November 1935 as Ani-Maeda Station of the Ministry of Railways' Aniai Line, then the line's terminus, in what is now Kita-Akita. The line was extended to Aniai on 25 September 1936, making it an intermediate station. General freight handling ended in 1980 and private-siding freight in 1982, and parcel handling ended in February 1984. On 1 November 1986 the JNR line was converted to the third-sector Akita Nairiku Jūkan Railway. The current station building, opened in December 1995, includes the "Quince Moriyoshi" spa, the first onsen-equipped station building in Akita Prefecture and a 2002 Tōhoku Top 100 Stations selection. Lodging rooms were added on 25 December 2017, and the station was renamed Ani-Maeda-Onsen on 13 March 2021. A landslide closed the Aniai end of the line in February 2017; through services resumed on 29 April 2017.

A spa facility called "Quince Moriyoshi", attached to the station building, was the first onsen-equipped station building in Akita Prefecture and was selected as one of the Tōhoku Top 100 Stations in 2002.
