Gotanda Station opened on 15 October 1911 as a Japanese Government Railways stop on the Yamanote Line in Shinagawa, Tokyo. The Tokyu Ikegami Line (then operated by Ikegami Electric Railway) added an elevated terminal on 17 June 1928. The station was largely destroyed by air raids on 24 May 1945 and rebuilt postwar; with privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the Yamanote platforms passed to JR East. The Toei Asakusa subway level opened on 15 November 1968. Platform-edge doors entered service on the Yamanote platforms in March 2015 and on the Ikegami Line on 20 March 2025.

The Tokyu Ikegami Line platform sits higher than the JR Yamanote platform because the line was originally planned to cross over the JR tracks and extend toward Shirokane, a plan never executed.
