Arisa Station opened on 21 November 1896 as a station on the Kyushu Railway, which was nationalised on 1 July 1907. A private freight siding to the Nissan Chemical Industries Kagami plant west of the station closed on 1 November 1958, freight handling ended on 1 February 1984 and baggage handling on 14 March 1985. With the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways the station passed to JR Kyushu, and SUGOCA service began on 1 December 2012. The aging wooden station building was demolished after termite damage and replaced on 22 March 2014 by a steel single-storey structure of about 76 square metres. The remaining ticket window was retired and the station became unstaffed full-time on 18 March 2023.

The "Arisa" name comes from Arisa Village in Yatsushiro District, the local place name at the time the station opened; the reading is thought to derive from the older "Arasa" (新坂), meaning "new slope".
