Hyūga-Shintomi Station opened on 11 September 1920 as Minashiro (三納代) Station, an intermediate stop on the Japanese Government Railways extension built northwards from Jirogabyū (now Hyūga-Sumiyoshi). After further phases of construction linked the route up to Kokura, the entire Kokura-Miyakonojō stretch was redesignated as the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923. The station was renamed Hyūga-Shintomi on 20 March 1961 following the 1959 formation of the town of Shintomi; the "Hyūga" prefix was added to distinguish it from an existing Shintomi Station on the Shinmei Line, which closed in 1990. Freight handling ended in 1982 and baggage handling in 1984. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station was transferred to JR Kyushu.

The 1992 station building was constructed in Miyazaki-grown cypress and modelled on agricultural greenhouses to evoke the town's defining industry.
