Nagato-Motoyama Station opened on 21 January 1937 as Motoyama Station on the Ube Electric Railway, on the section that is now the Motoyama branch of the Onoda Line, at San-no-Narahara in Ōaza Onoda, in what is now San'yō-Onoda, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The Ube Electric Railway merged with the Ube Railway on 1 December 1941 and the station was renamed Nagato-Motoyama on the same day. The Ube Railway was nationalised on 1 May 1943. Freight handling ended in 1963 and parcels in 1971, when the station was destaffed. JR West took over at the 1987 privatisation. The station is a single dead-end platform with no building, only a small shelter, and serves as the terminus of the 2.3 km branch from Suzumeda; trains run only in the morning and evening, the late-evening service having ended after 22 March 2002.

Trains call at Nagato-Motoyama only in the morning and evening; until 22 March 2002 the timetable also included departures as late as the 22:00 hour.
