Hota Station opened on 1 August 1917 on what is now the JR East Uchibō Line, in the town of Kyonan in Chiba Prefecture's Awa District. Freight and parcel service ended on 1 October 1971. The station joined JR East at the 1987 privatisation, and Suica became usable on 14 March 2009 when the stop was incorporated into the Tokyo Suburban Area. The Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket office closed on 31 January 2021, and the station now runs as a contracted-staff stop managed by JR East Station Service from the Kisarazu group's Tateyama base, with a wooden building, a single island platform serving two tracks and a footbridge connection.

Hota retains operational flexibility: both platform tracks accept arrivals and departures in either direction, allowing local trains to swap to the opposite platform to wait for limited expresses when needed.
