The predecessor of today's Chiryū Station opened on 1 April 1923 as Shin-Chiryū on the Aichi Electric Railway, beside the Mikawa Railway's existing Chiryū Station at the point where the two lines crossed. Aichi Electric was absorbed by Meitetsu in 1935 and the Mikawa Railway followed in 1941, after which the two stations were unified as the second-generation Chiryū. A new combined station, the present (third-generation) Chiryū, opened on 1 April 1959, relocated so that the Mikawa Line could run into the Nagoya Main Line station; the old structures were spun off as Higashi-Chiryū and Mikawa-Chiryū. Continuous-grade-separation works begun in 2015 are now scheduled for completion in 2031, with the southbound Nagoya Main Line track raised to a new elevated platform in March 2023.

The roof pillars of the pre-2015 ground-level station were built from recycled rails, and at least one carried the legible inscription 'CARNEGIE 1897' from the American steelworks.
