Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Semi-Onsen Station opened on 1 November 1915 as Semi Station (瀬見駅), serving the Rikuu East Line in what is now the town of Mogami, Yamagata. Freight handling ended on 30 November 1971 and parcel handling on 7 March 1983, when the station became unstaffed under a simplified-contracted arrangement. The station passed to East Japan Railway Company (JR East) on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways, and was renamed Semi-Onsen Station on 4 December 1999 in recognition of the nearby hot-spring town. The passing loop was removed later that month, and the present station building was rebuilt in September 2008.

The platform was once an island platform reached by a level crossing inside the station grounds. One of its two tracks was taken out in December 1999, leaving track on only one side, but the level crossing remains — so passengers still cross the running line to reach what is now effectively a single-face platform.
