Hoshikawa Station opened on 31 May 1927 as Kita-Hodogaya Station on the Jinchū Railway (the predecessor of the Sōtetsu Main Line) and was the Yokohama-end terminus at the time, connecting Kita-Hodogaya with Atsugi. It was renamed Hoshikawa on 1 April 1933. A footbridge station building was completed on 23 April 1969, and the adjoining Hoshikawa Workshops were relocated to Kashiwadai in 1971. Rapid services began calling on 27 February 1999. Elevation works produced a temporary up platform on 3 November 2007, a permanent elevated down platform on 5 March 2017, and a permanent elevated up platform on 24 November 2018. A single combined fare gate replaced the previous two on 21 June 2020. The Hoshi-Ten qlay redevelopment under the viaduct opened on 2 February 2023, and platform doors entered service that September.

Although Hoshikawa is bypassed by Limited Express, Commuter Limited Express, and Commuter Express trains, it still carries more passengers than Nishiya, which all categories of trains stop at.
