Tenri Station opened on 11 May 1898 as Tambaichi Station on the Nara Railway (today's Sakurai Line), in present-day Tenri City, Nara Prefecture. The Kintetsu Tenri Station opened on 7 February 1915 as the terminus of the Tenri Light Railway, was transferred to the Osaka Electric Tramway (Daiki) in 1921, and was electrified and converted to standard gauge in 1922. In 1963 Tambaichi was renamed Tenri-shi to match the newly created Tenri City, and on 1 September 1965 — when the line was elevated — the two stations were physically combined into a single Tenri Station financed by the city. The Kintetsu Tenri Line was double-tracked between this station and Nikaidō on 11 February 1988. ICOCA service began in March 2005 and PiTaPa in April 2007.

On every pilgrimage day for Tenrikyō, especially the monthly festival on the 26th, extra trains and reserved special-services are operated by both JR West and Kintetsu, and the timetable itself sometimes shifts into a special pattern.
