Shimpu Station began as Shinpu Signal Stop on 10 June 1945, established by the Ministry of Transport and Communications to help boost Chūō Line capacity in the closing months of World War II — part of contingency planning around moving central government functions to Matsushiro. It handled passengers even as a signal stop and was elevated to a full unstaffed passenger station on 10 September 1972. With the 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation, the station came under JR East. It was brought into JR East's Tokyo suburban fare zone (Tōkyō kinkō kukan) on 1 April 2014 and gained Suica acceptance on 1 April 2017. The station has two opposed side platforms on a 25-permil grade, built on an embankment, and there is no station building.

In clear weather Mount Fuji can be seen from the platform through a screen of trees.
