Kyōtanabe Station opened on 12 April 1898 as Tanabe Station, when the Kansai Railway extended its line from Nagao to the now-closed Shin-Kizu. It was nationalised on 1 October 1907 and reorganised under the Sakuranomiya Line in 1909 before being absorbed into the Katamachi Line in November 1913. Freight and parcel handling ended on 1 October 1970, when the station was destaffed. JR West inherited the station at privatisation on 1 April 1987. The station serves Tanabe-Kudo in Kyōtanabe, Kyoto, sitting 12.4 km from Kizu on the Katamachi Line (Gakkentoshi Line) and offering a roughly seven-minute walk transfer to the Kintetsu Kyoto Line's Shin-Tanabe Station. From around 2015 the connection has been announced on in-train guidance.

Kyōtanabe and the nearby Kintetsu Shin-Tanabe Station are both being developed as the city's gateway, and from around 2015 the transfer between them has been announced in JR's on-board guidance; on the Kintetsu side, however, a JR-transfer announcement is made only at Shin-Hōsono, not at Shin-Tanabe itself.
