Kotoden-Kotohira Station opened on 1927-03-15 as Kotohira Station, the southern terminus of the Kotohira Electric Railway, in what is today the town of Kotohira, Nakatado District, Kagawa Prefecture. As the closest station to Kotohira-gū shrine, the original building was a substantial two-storey structure that initially housed a restaurant; the restaurant closed during the Second World War. The station was renamed Kotoden-Kotohira in 1942 as part of a broader tidying of Kotohira-area station names, which also changed nearby Kotohira-Sangū Electric Railway's Kotohira to Kotosan-Kotohira and the Kotohira Express Electric Railway's Dentetsu-Kotohira to Kotokyū-Kotohira. The company merger of 1943-11-01 transferred the station to the Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad's Kotohira Line, station number K21. The current building, completed alongside the opening of the Great Seto Bridge, was inaugurated on 1988-05-26.

Although JR Shikoku's Kotohira Station on the Dosan Line sits only about 200 m from Kotoden-Kotohira, the schedules of the two railways are not coordinated for transfers.
