Higashi-Futami Station opened on 19 August 1923 with the inauguration of the Kobe-Himeji Electric Railway in present-day Akashi, Hyōgo Prefecture. The operator was merged into Ujigawa Electric on 1 April 1927, and the railway division was spun off as Sanyō Electric Railway on 6 June 1933; the station has carried the present operator name since. The station relocated to its current site on 7 June 1941 and adopted an elevated bridge-style building on 13 December 1966. It became a regular express stop in 1948 and a limited-express stop in 1953. The adjacent Higashi-Futami depot makes the station a starting and terminating point for some scheduled services.

Of the station's three island platforms and five tracks, Platform 5 is not directly accessible from the station building; passengers reach it only by walking across a train waiting on Platform 4 when scheduled out-of-depot service transfers require it.
