Shin-Yokohama Station opened on 1 October 1964 with the inauguration of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen, sited where the new line crossed the existing Yokohama Line in what was then largely rural land. The Yokohama Municipal Subway connected on 14 March 1985, initially as the line's terminus, and was extended through to Azamino in 1993. With JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 the Shinkansen portion passed to JR Central and the Yokohama Line portion to JR East. From the 15 March 2008 timetable revision every revenue service on the Tōkaidō Shinkansen began stopping here. On 18 March 2023 a new through-running station for the Sōtetsu–Tōkyū Link Line opened, transforming Shin-Yokohama into a four-operator interchange.

Property for the future Shin-Yokohama site was bought up under a cover story claiming a Nissan/Ford auto plant would be built — a JNR-and-politician scheme later exposed in the novel and film 'Kuro no Chō Tokkyū' (The Black Super Express).
