Inzai-Makinohara Station opened on 1 April 1995 on the Hokusō Line in what is today Inzai, Chiba Prefecture. The north entrance was added in March 1997 as the Takino district began accepting residents. The station was selected as one of the 'Top 100 Train Stations of the Kantō Region' on 1 April 1998, cited for its arch-roof, symmetrical building flanked by cosmos in autumn. It opened with two platforms serving only two tracks, the inner pair left unused, and was enlarged to two island platforms and four tracks on 22 July 2000, when the line was extended to Imba-Nihon-idai and the Imba Vehicle Depot opened. Station numbering was introduced on 17 July 2010, assigning HS13. Chiba Newtown Railway owns the track through the station as a Category 3 railway operator, with Hokusō Railway running the services as a Category 2 operator.

Inzai-Makinohara was selected as one of the Kantō region's Top 100 Stations in 1998, recognised for its symmetrical, arch-roofed station building, which is surrounded by cosmos blooms in autumn.
