Honnō Station opened on 17 April 1897 as a station on the privately operated Bōsō Railway, then was nationalised when the Imperial Railway Agency absorbed the railway on 1 September 1907. Freight handling ended on 1 July 1971, and the station passed to JR East at the 1987 privatisation. Centralised traffic control reached the layout on 29 June 1997, and Suica became usable on 18 November 2001. From 4 December 2010 mid-day Keiyō-Line through rapid services began calling here. The staffed Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket window closed on 31 March 2014. In the timetable revision of 16 March 2024 the Keiyō-Line through commuter-rapid was abolished and rapids that had previously skipped the station now stop, after which the original automatic ticket gates were replaced with simple Suica gates.

Honnō's wooden station building is unusual in resting on a brick-laid foundation.
