Takeo-Onsen Station opened on 5 May 1895 as Takeo, the western terminus of the private Kyushu Railway's Nagasaki line. The track was nationalised on 1 July 1907, and the line through Takeo was reclassified to the Sasebo Line on 1 December 1934 when the Nagasaki Main Line was rerouted via Hizen-Kashima. The station was renamed Takeo-Onsen and rebuilt as a bridge-over station on 19 June 1975, and the Sasebo Line was electrified the following year. Operation passed to JR Kyushu at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Elevation works begun in 2001 were completed in stages between 2008 and 2009, and on 23 September 2022 the station became the eastern terminus of the partially opened Nishi-Kyūshū Shinkansen.

Until the Shinkansen is extended to Hakata, Track 11 hosts the Nishi-Kyūshū Shinkansen Kamome and shares an island platform with conventional Track 10, allowing a cross-platform transfer to the Relay Kamome limited express.
