Echigo-Mizusawa Station opened on 1 September 1929 on the Iiyama Line in what is now Tōkamachi, Niigata. The line was nationalised on 1 June 1944, bringing the station under the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the predecessor of Japanese National Railways. Freight handling ceased in 1963 and the station became unstaffed in 1970. Upon the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR East. A new station building was completed in 1998, and during the 2015 Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale the station was reimagined as a public-art space themed around Taiwanese picture-book artist Jimmy Liao's Kiss & Goodbye.
