Yawatajuku Station opened on 28 March 1912 on the Japanese Government Railways Kisarazu Line. The host line was renamed the Hōjō Line on 24 May 1919, the Bōsō Line on 15 April 1929, the Bōsōnishi Line on 1 April 1933, and the Uchibō Line on 15 July 1972. Freight handling ended on 6 July 1969 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. The station passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987. A bridge-deck station building completed on 23 December 1995 brought automatic gates into service, Suica followed on 18 November 2001, and operation was contracted out on 1 April 2014 after the Midori-no-Madoguchi window closed on 12 February 2013. Yawatajuku has an island platform for 15-car trains.

Despite being the historic centre of the former Ichihara town, the station is the subject of a long-running local campaign — periodically also waged at Goi — to be rebranded "Ichihara Station" after the city itself.
