Kyōmachi Onsen Station opened on 1 October 1912 as Kyōmachi Station, one of several intermediate stops on the Japanese Government Railways' new Miyazaki Line stretch from Yoshimatsu to Kobayashi. The track passed through several reclassifications: it became part of the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923, then was split off as the Kitto Line on 6 December 1932 with Miyakonojō as the origin. A concrete station building was completed in 1962, the same year freight operations ended; baggage handling ceased in 1984. JR Kyushu inherited the station at the 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation, and on 1 November 1990 the station was renamed Kyōmachi Onsen. The 1962 building was demolished in September 2018 during a prefectural road-widening project.

Although named for the nearby Kyōmachi Onsen, the station did not take that name until 1 November 1990 — nearly 80 years after it opened as plain Kyōmachi Station in 1912.
