Kinashi Station opened on 21 February 1897 as an intermediate stop on the private Sanuki Railway between Marugame and Takamatsu, in what is now Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture. The line passed to the Sanyo Railway in 1904 and was nationalised on 1 December 1906, with the station becoming part of the Sanuki Line and later the Yosan Main Line under Japanese Government Railways. JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 transferred control to JR Shikoku; under JR Shikoku the station carries the code Y02. ICOCA became available in March 2014, and the station was reduced to fully unattended status on 1 April 2018, ending the kan'i-itaku commission arrangement that had been held by a Chinese restaurant in the station building.

The station carries the alternative name "Kinashi-Momotarō Station" after local Momotarō folklore, and a stone statue from the video game Momotarō Dentetsu was donated by Hudson Soft and unveiled on the Takamatsu-bound platform on 31 March 2002.
