Nijō Station opened on February 15, 1897 with the Kyoto Railway's Nijō–Saga section (now the San'in Main Line) and remained the line's terminus until the Ōmiya–Nijō section opened on April 27 of the same year. The Kyoto Railway was nationalised in 1907, and the line became part of the San'in Main Line in 1912. A wooden Meiji-era station building, designed by Chūta Itō, served until elevation works completed in 1996; the structure was preserved and relocated to what is now the Kyoto Railway Museum. The Kyoto Subway Tōzai Line opened a connecting station on October 12, 1997 and was extended west to Uzumasa-Tenjingawa on January 16, 2008.

The original 1904 wooden station building, designed by architect Chūta Itō, was preserved and reinstalled at the Kyoto Railway Museum after the 1996 elevation works.
