Ryōgoku Station opened on 5 April 1904 as Sōbu Railway's Ryōgokubashi terminus, served by a 1.5-kilometre brick-pier viaduct — the first railway elevation in Japan — completed under a regulator condition that the central-city extension be raised rather than at-grade. Tōbu Railway began through-running via the Kameido Line, and freight service started on 1 September 1904. The line was nationalised on 1 September 1907, double-tracked on 19 August 1906, and the Tōbu through-running stopped on 27 March 1910. The current west-side terminal building opened on 30 December 1929, and the station was renamed Ryōgoku on 1 October 1931. The Toei Ōedo Line platform opened on 12 December 2000.

The 1929 west-side terminal was preserved and reopened on 2 August 1996 as Beer Station Ryōgoku, and was reconfigured again on 25 November 2016 as the Edo Noren food complex; the building was named to the Selection of 100 Stations of the Kantō Region in 1998 as the reinforced-concrete two-storey downtown station that grew up alongside sumo wrestling.
