The private Daito Railway (大湯鉄道) had opened a track between Ōita and Onoya in 1915. The Daito Railway was nationalized on 1 December 1922, after which Japanese Government Railways (JGR) undertook phased westward expansion of the track which, at the time, it had designated as the Daito Line. By 1925, the track had reached Yufuin. Subsequently, the track was extended further west and Noya was opened as the new western terminus on 26 November 1926. Noya became a through-station on 28 October 1928 when the track was extended to Bungo-Nakamura. On 15 November 1934, when the Daito Line had linked up with the Kyudai Main Line further west, JGR designated the station as part of the Kyudai Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[5][6]
In fiscal 2015, there were a total of 2,444 boarding passengers, giving a daily average of 7 passengers.[7]
