Yukuhashi traces its origins to two private railways that both opened in 1895. On 1 April the first Kyushu Railway opened the Kokura-to-Gyōji section with its terminus at Gyōji Station (in Gyōji, Yukuhashi-machi); on 15 August Hōshū Railway opened its Yukuhashi-to-Ita line, building its Yukuhashi Station at the present site. Kyushu Railway subsequently extended into Yukuhashi as a shared terminus and closed its own Gyōji Station. Hōshū Railway was absorbed by Kyushu Railway in 1901, and nationalised on 1 July 1907. The completion of the through line from Kokura to Kagoshima on 6 December 1932 gave the route its present name, the Nippō Main Line. JR Kyushu took over operation in April 1987. A continuous grade-separation project begun in 1992 was completed on 28 August 1999.

The completed continuous grade-separation viaduct and the redeveloped area around the station won a Good Design Award for fiscal 2002.
