Heijō Station opened on 3 November 1928 as a stop on the Nara Electric Railway in Misasagi-chō, Nara City. A 1963 merger transferred the line to Kintetsu, where it became the Kyoto Line; the station now carries the code B25. Its present configuration has two opposed side platforms with an underground concourse and one ticket gate, replacing an earlier surface station building on the Kyoto side that connected to the opposite platform by a level crossing. IC card acceptance (PiTaPa) began on 1 April 2007. The station serves the Nara Velodrome, with express trains making special stops on race days.

When the Nara Velodrome holds its annual commemorative race meeting, some express trains that normally pass through make special stops at Heijō; a temporary ticket gate was once set up midway along Platform 2, the platform nearest the velodrome.
