Yowara Station opened on 15 April 1935 as the terminus of the Ministry of Railways' Shibushi Line (now the Nichinan Line) when the section from Shibushi Station to this station opened. It became an intermediate station when the section from this station to Ōdōtsu Station was extended on 1 March the following year, 1936. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1960 and baggage handling on 1 February 1984, and with the division and privatization of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it became a Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu) station. It was transferred to the newly established Miyazaki Branch on 1 April 2022. It is a ground-level station able to let trains pass each other, with two opposed platforms serving two tracks, and it is unstaffed, retaining a wooden station building with a triangular roof set slightly higher than the platform.

A wooden station building with a triangular roof remains standing slightly above the platform, and it continues to be used as a waiting room even after the station became unstaffed.
