Moriyama Station opened on 20 June 1911. Station operations were outsourced on 1 June 1964, freight handling was discontinued on 31 March 1968 and the station was destaffed on 15 June 1968. A new station building was constructed in February 1987. The station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks; it has no station building today, but a waiting room sits on the up-direction (Isahaya-bound) platform, and the two platforms are connected by a barrier-and-alarm-free in-station level crossing.

Until the 2005 merger of Moriyama Town (Kitatakaki District) into Isahaya City, down-direction trains crossed the old Isahaya/Moriyama Town municipal boundary just before reaching the station — Moriyama Station stood just past that boundary on the Moriyama side. The station also sits at the edge of the Isahaya Bay land-reclamation rice-paddy zone first opened in the Edo period, near where the Akasaki cape ridge meets the reclaimed flats.
