Funabashi Station opened on 20 July 1894 as a Sōbu Railway (first generation) stop, becoming a state-railway facility on 1 September 1907 under the Railway Nationalisation Act. A separate Hokusō Railway (later renamed Sōbu Railway, then absorbed into Tōbu in March 1944) opened its Funabashi-Kashiwa line at the station on 27 December 1923. The JNR/JR station was rebuilt in 1952 and elevated on 27 September 1970; Tōbu’s platforms were elevated on 17 December 1980. With JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East, and Suica IC service began on 18 November 2001. Funabashi today is a major multi-operator hub combining JR Sōbu, the Tōbu Urban Park Line (TD-35) and the adjacent Keisei Funabashi station.

On 28 March 1972 a signal fault inside Funabashi Station caused a following train to run into the rear of a stopped inbound Sōbu local service; 758 people suffered injuries in the collision, which is known as the Funabashi Station rear-end accident.
