Kinosaki Onsen Station opened on 5 September 1909 as Kinosaki Station, the western terminus of the Imperial Railway Agency line from Toyooka in Hyōgo Prefecture. It became a through-station when service extended to Kasumi in 1911 and was integrated into the San'in Main Line in March 1912. The original station building collapsed in the 1925 North Tajima earthquake; a reinforced-concrete replacement opened in May 1926, later reshaped with a tiled roof and Japanese exterior in May 1949. Direct electric limited-express services arrived with electrification on 1 November 1986. The station was renamed to its present form on 1 March 2005 ahead of the Toyooka merger, and renovated in 2016 in preparation for the Twilight Express Mizukaze.

When the station was renamed Kinosaki Onsen on 1 March 2005, enka singer Takashi Hosokawa served as honorary station master for the day.
