Bubaigawara Station first appeared on 24 March 1925 when the Tamanan Electric Railway opened it as Yashikibun Station; merger with the Keio Electric Tramway followed in December 1926. The Nambu Railway opened its own Yashikibun stop on 11 December 1928 as its terminus before extending toward Tachikawa a year later, and both stations were renamed Bubaigawara in 1929. Nationalisation of the Nambu line in April 1944 transferred that section to JNR, then to JR East on 1 April 1987. The two operators share one station building managed by Keio; automated ticket gates linking the JR concourse opened on 28 March 2000, and slit-frame platform doors entered service on the JR side on 21 December 2024.

The station plaza features a statue of 14th-century commander Nitta Yoshisada, commemorating his 1333 victory over the Kamakura shogunate's forces at the Bubaigawara battlefield just east of the present site.
