Suizenji Station opened on 21 June 1914 as an intermediate stop on Japanese Government Railways' new Miyagi Light Rail Line east of Kumamoto. By December 1928 the route had been linked to the Inukai Line built westwards from Ōita, and the combined corridor was designated the Hōhi Main Line on 2 December 1928. The original station building burned in the 2 July 1945 Kumamoto air raid and was rebuilt in 1948. A modern multi-storey station building with retail and residential floors opened on 6 March 2003, including a new north entrance. JR Kyushu took over at the 1987 JNR privatisation; SUGOCA service began on 1 December 2012, and the station was converted to direct JR operation on 1 October 2023.

The current station building is a multi-storey complex housing shops on the lower floors and apartments above, with the railway concourse on level 2.
