On 1 October 1912, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened a track between Yoshimatsu and Kobayashi (then named Kobayashimachi) during the first phase of construction of what it then designated as the Miyazaki Line. Kyōmachi Onsen (at that time named Kyōmachi (京町)) was opened on the same day as one of several intermediate stations along the track. On 15 December 1923, the stretch of track between Yoshimatsu and Miyakonojō which included Kyōmachi, was designated as part of the Nippō Main Line. On 6 December 1932, the same stretch was separated out and was designated as the Kitto Line with Miyakonojō as the starting point. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, Kyōmachi came under the control of JR Kyushu. On 1 November 1990, Kyōmachi was renamed Kyōmachi Onsen.[3][6][7]
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 69 passengers (boarding only) per day.[8]
