Mikado Station opened on 16 August 1903 as a freight stop on the privately operated Bōsō Railway in what is now Isumi, Chiba Prefecture, gaining scheduled passenger service on 14 January 1905. The line was nationalised on 1 September 1907 and folded into the Japanese Government Railways, later becoming part of the JNR network. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1962 and the station was destaffed on 1 July 1972. In 1985, the original building was demolished and replaced with a structure improvised from two modified shipping containers. Operations passed to JR East with privatisation on 1 April 1987. The container building burned down on 30 November 2005 and the present small building, completed in February 2007, replaced it.

Mikado's platform is short, accommodating trains of no more than eight cars. It is also one of only three stations on the Sotobō Line whose premises are single-track.
