Kiyama Station began life on 11 November 1918 as the Kiyamaguchi Signal Box opened by the Railway Bureau. It was upgraded to a full station and renamed Kiyama on 5 August 1921. On 28 April 1939, it became the western terminus of the new Amagi Line to Amagi. Japanese National Railways transferred the Amagi Line to the third-sector Amagi Railway on 1 April 1986 and JR Kyushu took over the JR portion at privatisation on 1 April 1987. The station was rebuilt with an elevated structure straddling National Route 3 on 12 February 1988. SUGOCA IC service started on the JR side on 1 March 2009.

The Amagi Railway side of the station uses the former JNR platform 4, but its tracks have been deliberately disconnected from JR — there is no through-running and no in-station transfer gate.
