Kitatono Station opened on 3 November 1911 as a stop on the Ina Electric Tramway, the operator that later became the Ina Electric Railway. The Ina line was nationalised on 1 August 1943 and absorbed into the Iida Line, transferring the station to the Ministry of Railways and later JNR; at the same time the reading of the name was officially changed from Kitatono to Kitadono, only to revert on 15 December 1956. Freight service apart from sidings ended on 1 December 1971, the remaining freight licence was withdrawn on 21 January 1984, and the station was destaffed on 1 April 1985. It passed to JR Central at privatisation on 1 April 1987, and the current concrete station building replaced the original wooden one in February 1999.

Until 1984 a private siding ran from the station to the headquarters factory of Daimei Chemical Industries northwest of the platforms.
