Shishido Station opened on 16 January 1889 as Ōtamachi Station, named after the village of Ōtamachi-mura in Nishi-Ibaraki District. Just over four months later, on 25 May, the surrounding village reorganised as Shishido-machi and the station was renamed accordingly. It was transferred to Nippon Railway in 1892, nationalised in 1906, and assigned to the Mito Line on 12 October 1909. After JNR was privatised in 1987 the station came under JR East. Suica service began on 18 November 2001; a new station building was completed in July 2012. It became unstaffed in March 2019, with ticket sales resumed via a simple commission with the city of Kasama the following month.

The station opened as Ōtamachi Station on 16 January 1889 and was renamed Shishido on 25 May the same year — barely four months later — after the establishment of Shishido-machi made the opening name obsolete.
