Hon-Yura opened on 3 December 1900 as Ajisu Station (阿知須駅) when the privately operated San'yō Railway extended its line from Mitajiri (today's Hōfu) to Asa. The San'yō Railway was nationalised on 1 December 1906 and the route became the San'yō Main Line at the line-naming reform of 1909. On 1 June 1950 the station was renamed Hon-Yura. Freight handling ceased on 1 May 1961, parcel handling on 1 February 1985, and the station became unstaffed the same day. The 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation placed it under JR West, and ICOCA fare cards became usable on 1 April 2023.

Hon-Yura spent the first half-century of its life under another name: it opened in 1900 as Ajisu Station and only became Hon-Yura on 1 June 1950. It has been unstaffed since 1985, and stands in the southern part of the Sayama district of Yamaguchi, between the Yura River and the Yamaguchi–Ube Road.
