Nagato-Motoyama Station opened on 1937-01-21 as Motoyama Station on the Ube Electric Railway, the present-day Motoyama branch of the Onoda Line, in what is now Onoda Sannara-bara, Sanyō-Onoda, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The Ube Electric Railway merged with the Ube Railway on 1941-12-01 and the station was renamed Nagato-Motoyama on the same day. The Ube Railway was nationalised on 1943-05-01. Freight handling ended in 1963 and parcels in 1971, when the station was destaffed. JR West took over at the 1987 privatisation. The station is a single dead-end platform with no building, only a small shelter, and serves as the terminus of the 2.3 km branch from Suzumeda; trains run only in the morning and evening, the late-evening service having ended on 2002-03-22.

Trains call at Nagato-Motoyama only in the morning and evening; the late-evening departures that ran up to the 22:00 hour were withdrawn at the 2002-03-22 timetable change.
