Unomachi Station opened on 2 July 1941 as the eastern terminus of the Uwajima Line, which then ran west to Uwajima. The Yosan Main Line was extended westwards from Yawatahama and absorbed the Uwajima Line at Unomachi on 20 June 1945, making the station a through-stop on the combined route. Operated by Japanese Government Railways and then Japanese National Railways, it passed to JR Shikoku at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. The station sits in Seiyo, Ehime Prefecture at 208 m elevation and carries station number U22; all limited-express services on the line call here. Its Midori no Madoguchi ticket office closed on 15 October 2019, and the station became fully unstaffed on 1 October 2021. A new timber station building, financed by the city using local lumber, opened on 5 November 2022.

From 1959 the local tourism association placed charcoal braziers in the waiting room each winter so that travellers could warm themselves; the practice continued until the rebuild and unstaffing in 2021–2022.
