Shinanomachi Station opened on 9 October 1894 as a station on the Kobu Railway when its Shinjuku - Ushigome section came into service, in present-day Shinjuku, Tokyo. The Kobu Railway was nationalized on 1 October 1906, and on 12 October 1909 the station came under the Chuo East Line (renamed the Chuo Main Line from 1911). Freight handling was discontinued on 1 February 1941 and parcel handling on 1 December 1963. The station building was rebuilt on 11 June 1980, and a new eight-storey "JR Shinanomachi Building" opened above the platforms on 26 February 1993, with the ground floor housing the ticket gates. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station came under JR East. Suica IC card use began on 18 November 2001, and platform doors began operation on 22 June 2020.

Shinanomachi Station serves the Soka Gakkai headquarters complex, including the Hall of the Great Vow for Kosen-rufu, and is also a major access point for Meiji Jingu Stadium and the Keio University Medical School Hospital.
