Hitoyoshi Station opened on 1 June 1908 as the southern terminus of a Japanese Government Railways extension from Yatsushiro. On 12 October 1909 the route was redesignated as part of the Hitoyoshi Main Line, and after further extension joined the Kagoshima Line in 1927 it became part of the Hisatsu Line. The station has long been the operating base for the Hisatsu Line, with most services starting or ending here. The branching Yunomae Line was transferred to the third-sector Kumagawa Railroad on 1 October 1989, after which the two operators shared the station. With the launch of "SL Hitoyoshi", the Kumagawa Railroad portion was renamed Hitoyoshi-Onsen Station on 1 April 2009.

The same station building serves two operators under two different names: it is "Hitoyoshi Station" on the JR Kyushu side and "Hitoyoshi-Onsen Station" on the Kumagawa Railroad side, the latter renamed in 2009 when the "SL Hitoyoshi" excursion service began.
