Mihara Station opened on 10 June 1894 when the San'yō Railway was extended from Itozaki — itself originally called Mihara — onward to Hiroshima, with the new station taking the Mihara name and the older terminus renamed Itozaki. The line was nationalised in 1906. Following the JNR privatisation of 1 April 1987, the station passed to JR West. The San'yō Shinkansen extension from Okayama to Hakata opened with a Shinkansen platform at Mihara on 10 March 1975, after the city secured signatures from local landowners to overturn an earlier plan favouring Onomichi.

The Shinkansen platform exists because Mayor Shōzō Nagao gathered signatures from 3,828 landowners and residents in January 1969, persuading JNR to switch the planned mid-section stop from Onomichi to Mihara.
