Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Teshiogawa-Onsen Station opened on 1 July 1956 as the Minami-Sakkuru Temporary Halt, one of many small stops added to the Sōya Main Line when diesel railcar services were introduced. After the village-run Teshiogawa hot-spring resort opened nearby it was renamed Teshiogawa-Onsen Temporary Halt on 1 July 1981, and was upgraded to a full station on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. Operating kilometres were set on 10 March 1990. After ridership averaged below one passenger per day, JR Hokkaido transferred maintenance to Otoineppu Village from 1 April 2021. In 2023 the deteriorating waiting room was renovated using furusato-nōzei donations.

Villagers in the southern Sakkuru and Yamuwakanai districts had walked roughly four kilometres to Sakkuru Station for more than forty years, and it was repeated petitioning at the time diesel railcars were introduced that finally secured the halt in 1956.
