Kyuhoji Station opened on 1 December 1910 as a railcar-only stop on the Railway Bureau's Kansai Main Line between Yao and Kami. The site grew alongside the Ryuge Yard, a major Osaka-area freight marshalling complex until its 1986 closure. Before electrification the great majority of trains ran straight through Kyuhoji, with mainly the Minatocho/Tennoji-Kashiwara local shuttles calling, until the October 1973 electrification brought regular electric trains. JR West inherited the station on 1 April 1987. A new overhead concourse opened on 28 July 1997, when the down line was relocated about 150 metres north to add an Osaka-bound passing track; the Nara-bound passing track followed in March 1998. Kyuhoji became a Yamatoji Rapid stop on 3 March 2001 and an Osaka Higashi Line transfer point on 15 March 2008. Station numbering JR-Q24 and JR-F15 was introduced on 17 March 2018.

Until 1973 most Kansai Main Line trains roared straight through Kyuhoji without stopping, because the line was not yet electrified and only a handful of short-distance shuttles called there.
