Narita Station opened on 19 January 1897 as the terminus of the private Narita Railway connecting Sakura with Narita. The line was extended to Namegawa later that year and to Ajiki in 1901. From 1911 the Chiba Prefectural Tako Line branched off, becoming the Narita Railway Company Tako Line in 1927 before being suspended in 1944 as a non-essential wartime line and formally abandoned in 1946. The Narita Railway itself was nationalised on 1 September 1920, and after passing to Japanese National Railways the present overhead station building was completed on 25 April 1979. JNR privatisation handed the station to JR East on 1 April 1987, and the airport branch line opened on 19 March 1991.

The 1979 station building was deliberately styled with shrine-like eaves and warm reddish-brown columns, a nod to the adjacent pilgrimage route up to Naritasan Shinshōji.
