Yachimata Station was opened on May 1, 1897 as a station on the Sōbu Railway for both passenger and freight operations. On September 1, 1907, the Sōbu Railway was nationalised, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR). The Chiba Prefectural Railways Yachimata Line began operations on May 18, 1914, and was discontinued on May 14, 1940. A new station building was completed in 1926. After World War II, the JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR). Scheduled freight operations were suspended from November 15, 1982. A new station building was completed in July 1984. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987. Express services began operations from March 16, 1991. A new station building was completed in April 2004.
