Shin-Tanabe Station opened on 3 November 1928 as a Nara Electric Railway stop, when the line between Momoyama Goryōmae and Saidaiji (now Yamato-Saidaiji) was inaugurated. It became part of the Kintetsu Kyoto Line on 1 October 1963 through corporate merger and its overhead station building entered service on 9 October 1988. The station, numbered B16, sits in Kawarashokuden, Kyōtanabe, Kyoto, 19.6 rail-kilometres from Kyoto along the Kintetsu Kyoto Line, and is the city's principal station, with an attached depot and on-site stationmaster. Many services terminate here, including all subway-through locals from the Karasuma Line, and semi-express services run only as far as this station.

Several statues of Ikkyū-san stand in the western rotary outside the station, reflecting the medieval Zen monk's association with nearby Shūon-an temple in Kyōtanabe.
