Hiratsuka Station opened on 11 July 1887 on the government railway between the original Yokohama and Kōzu, in what is now the city of Hiratsuka, Kanagawa Prefecture. It became part of the Tōkaidō Main Line under the 1909 line-naming reform. The 1923 Great Kantō earthquake destroyed the station building through soil liquefaction and brought down the nearby Banyū-gawa railway bridge over the Sagami River. On 26 June 1973, the Lusca Hiratsuka station building opened — the first JNR-invested station building in Japan and the prototype of the Lusca brand that later spread to Atami, Odawara and Chigasaki. The station passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987, and now hosts station number JT 11 on the Tōkaidō Line.

Since 5 July 2013, the platform departure melody has been the children's song "Tanabata-sama," the second East Japan Tōkaidō Line station to adopt a local melody after Shinagawa, marking the city's annual Shōnan Hiratsuka Tanabata Festival.
