Koyūkan-Shineki Station opened on 1 October 1995 as the access stop for the Shinjiko Park Koyūkan amusement facility, funded entirely by the former Hirata city as a petitioned (request) station. It was the first request-funded station on the Ichibata Electric Railway, and the operator embedded 'Shin-eki' (new station) into the name to mark it — yielding 'Koyūkan Shineki Station', literally 'Koyūkan-New-Station Station'. When the original Ichibata Electric Railway became a holding company on 1 April 2006, the rail business transferred to a newly incorporated Ichibata Electric Railway Co. The station has a single side platform with only a shelter — no station building — and is unstaffed. It carries number 11 on the Kita-Matsue Line.

The station's formal name ends in 'eki eki' (駅駅) — 'Station Station' — because the chosen name Koyūkan Shin-eki ('Koyūkan New Station') already ended in the word for station, and the word was appended once more so that it would read as a station name.
