Moji Station opened on 1 April 1891 as Yanagigaura Station on the first Kyushu Railway, was renamed Dairi Station around 1908, and on 1 April 1942 was moved roughly 400 metres south and renamed Moji Station when the Kanmon Railway Tunnel project required the adjacent station then called Moji (now Mojikō) to give up the name. The Kanmon Tunnel opened on 1 July 1942 with the station as San'yō Main Line terminus, and the second bore opened in August 1944. Kyushu's first "people's station" building was completed on 21 March 1952. The 1 April 1987 privatisation transferred control to JR Kyushu and JR Freight. The current overhead building opened on 30 March 2004, and SUGOCA began on 1 March 2009.

Because the Kagoshima Main Line is AC-electrified but the San'yō Main Line is DC, a dead section sits at the Shimonoseki end of the station precinct, and locomotive-hauled passenger trains such as the former Blue Train sleepers were re-engined here, exchanging the AC locomotives used within Kyushu for the AC-DC dual-voltage locomotives reserved for the Kanmon Tunnel.
