Tarui Station opened on 25 May 1884 with the government railway's extension between Ōgaki and Sekigahara, in present-day Tarui, Gifu Prefecture. The Ōgaki - Tarui segment was double-tracked in 1901 and Tarui - Sekigahara in 1902. On 11 October 1944 a bypass line opened to allow trains to climb to Sekigahara without traversing Tarui, leaving Tarui only on the eastbound through track and giving rise to a separate Shin-Tarui ("new Tarui") Station on the bypass; on 1 November 1946 the Tarui Branch reopened the old western alignment to local service. Shin-Tarui closed on 1 November 1986 and JR Central inherited the station at privatisation on 1 April 1987. A bridge-style station building opened on 4 March 1995, TOICA acceptance began on 25 November 2006, and station numbering (CA78) was introduced in March 2018.

Between 1944 and 1986 westbound express and freight trains skipped Tarui altogether, running over the bypass line to the north, where the long-vanished Shin-Tarui Station — about three kilometres from Tarui — was served only by westbound local trains.
