Nayorokōkō Station traces back to 20 September 1956, when Japanese National Railways opened Higashi-Fūren Station at the 72.6 km point of the Soya Main Line for passenger-only service; an earlier temporary halt is thought to have preceded it. The station passed to JR Hokkaido at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. In July 1999 the platform was shifted across the tracks as part of the Asahikawa-Nayoro high-speed realignment. From 2018 Nayoro City pursued moving the station nearer to Hokkaido Nayoro High School, whose students made up almost all of its users, funding the work itself. On 12 March 2022 the platform was relocated 1.5 km toward Wakkanai and renamed Nayorokōkō Station, with all local and Nayoro-Rapid services beginning to call.

Before the 2022 move, only eight scheduled local trains a day — four in each direction — stopped at the original Higashi-Fūren site; the relocated Nayorokōkō Station is served by all 24 local and Nayoro-Rapid trains that pass it each day. Nayoro City carried out and funded the relocation as a project of its own rather than JR Hokkaido.
