Yahiro Station opened on 11 July 1923 on the Keisei Oshiage Line as Arakawa Station, named for its position atop the embankment of the Arakawa flood-channel. After Arakawa Ward was established in 1932 the original name sometimes led to misunderstandings and passengers boarding the wrong trains. On 5 January 1991 a tanker collided with the old Arakawa railway bridge alongside the station, severing the up and down rails and halting the Oshiage Line for several days; that accident triggered the decision to replace the bridge and elevate the line as far as Yotsugi. The station was renamed Yahiro on 1 April 1994, with the up-platform brought onto a viaduct on 13 December 1997 and the down-platform on 4 September 1999. On 15 September 2001 a new station building opened; two days later, on 17 September 2001, a third track for overtaking was completed, giving the station its present 2-platform, 3-track elevated layout.

The station appeared as a stand-in for Horikiri Station in the opening scenes of Yasujirō Ozu's 1953 film Tokyo Story, filmed when it still carried its original name Arakawa Station.
