Heguri Station opened on 21 October 1926 as a halt on the Shigi Ikoma Electric Railway during the extension between Yamashita (today Shigisan-shita) and Motoyamagamiguchi. It was upgraded to a permanent station on 19 December 1930, and on 1 October 1964 became a Kintetsu Railway station through corporate merger, joining what is now the Ikoma Line. PiTaPa fares were introduced on 1 April 2007 and the station was made fully unstaffed on 1 October 2021. The ground-level station has two side platforms with a four-car effective length, connected by a level crossing inside the station.

"Heguri" is so unusual a reading of its kanji 平群 that it is routinely listed among Japan's hard-to-read station names — the small town it serves is also home to the supposed tomb of Prince Nagaya, an early 8th-century imperial.
