Kurihashi Station sits in Kuki, Saitama, where the Tōhoku Main Line (Utsunomiya Line) of the Nippon Railway opened it on 16 July 1885. Because the Tone River bridge had not yet been finished, the line initially terminated here and a railway ferry crossed to a temporary station at Nakada until the iron bridge opened in 1886. Tobu Railway added its own platform on 1 April 1929 when the Tōbu Nikkō Line was extended to Shin-Kanuma. The JNR side passed to JR East at the 1987 privatisation. A connecting track inaugurated on 18 March 2006 allowed through limited-express Nikkō and Kinugawa services to run between JR and Tobu rails via the station.

When the Tone River bridge opened in 1886 it was Japan's largest railway bridge at the time, and Emperor Meiji travelled to inspect it on 9 July of that year.
