Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Bandai-Atami Station opened on 26 July 1898 as Atami Station on the privately-owned Ganetsu Railway in the city of Kōriyama, Fukushima Prefecture. The railway was nationalized on 1 November 1906, after which the station served what is now the Ban'etsu West Line. It was renamed Iwashiro-Atami Station on 20 March 1925, then Bandai-Atami on 1 June 1965 to distinguish it from Atami Station in Shizuoka Prefecture. The current station building dates to June 1979. After the 1987 privatization of Japanese National Railways, it joined the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) network. It was named one of the Hundred Best Stations of Tōhoku in 2002, and Suica IC card service was added in 2014.

The Atami place-name was borrowed from the famous Atami in Shizuoka during the Kamakura period; the prefix Bandai was later added to keep the two stations distinct on the national network.
