Odoriba Station opened on 29 August 1999. It was selected as one of the "100 Best Stations in the Kantō Region" in 2000. Platform-edge doors entered service in August 2007 and docomo Wi-Fi was added on 11 May 2012, with au Wi-Fi SPOT and SoftBank Wi-Fi following over the next year. With the 18 July 2015 timetable change the station became a Rapid (Kaisoku) stop and gained two new daytime services per hour terminating or originating at Odoriba. On 29 August 2019 a terminating train overran into the storage siding and struck the buffer wall. From 22 February 2021—Cat Day—the ticket-machine paper stock at the station was switched to a special "dancing cat" design.

The station name comes from a local Edo-period legend of "the cat's dance hall of Totsuka-juku" (the area is said to have been a spot where three cats who had eaten silver-vine mata-tabi were seen dancing), and the station is decorated throughout with feline motifs. The corridor floor is dotted with cat paw-prints, the corridor walls carry large tile mosaics shaped like cat eyes, the platform ceiling features dancing-cat panels, exits 1 and 3 are roofed with cat-ear skylights, and the curve of exit 1's exterior wall is shaped to evoke a cat's body. Odoriba is also the highest point on the entire Blue Line by elevation.
