Hakenomiya Station opened on 26 August 1913. It came into the era of contactless ticketing on 1 April 2015 when the regional Kumamoto Chiiki Shinkō IC Card ("Kumamon no IC CARD") system was supported, and station numbering was introduced on 1 October 2019, with the station designated KD11.

The name "Hakenomiya" comes from a tea-house that the third Kumamoto-domain lord Hosokawa Tsunatoshi built at this water-source site; he named the eight scenes visible from the tea-house after the Eight Views of Ōmi. The traditional eight views include green leaves on Mounts Ichi, Ni and San; snow on Mount Kinpō; sunset haze around Kumamoto Castle; geese over the Tsuboi fields; rain at night on the Hakenomiya floating island; the autumn moon over Mount Tatsuta; the evening bell at Kōshō-ji Temple in Kamei; and autumn leaves in the tea-house forest.
