Kinugawa-Onsen Station opened on 17 March 1919 as Shimotaki Station on the Shimotsuke Tramway. The operator was renamed the Shimotsuke Electric Railway in June 1921, and on 19 March 1922 the station was relocated and renamed Ōtaki; it took its present name on 19 February 1927. Tobu Railway absorbed the Shimotsuke Electric Railway on 1 May 1943, making this a Tobu station. The current station, about 1.2 km closer to Shimo-Imaichi than the previous site, opened on 8 October 1964. Tobu began through services from JR's Shinjuku as the (Spacia) Kinugawa on 18 March 2006, and steam-hauled SL Taiju tourist trains have run between Shimo-Imaichi and Kinugawa-Onsen since 10 August 2017.

To turn the steam locomotive used on the SL Taiju tourist train, a turntable relocated from JR West's Miyoshi Station was installed beside platform 1, next to the station forecourt.
