History
Kuki Station opened on 16 July 1885 as a Nippon Railway stop on what is now JR East's Tōhoku Main Line (Utsunomiya Line). Tobu Railway added its own platform on 27 August 1899 with the opening of the Kita-Senju–Kuki segment, extending to Kazo on 6 September 1902. A second-generation building opened in February 1936, replaced by an elevated structure on 20 November 1970 with a new east entrance. From the 18 March 2006 timetable revision, Hanzōmon and Tokyu Den-en-toshi through services began stopping here and limited-express Ryōmō trains added stops. All Ryōmō and Liberty Ryōmō services have stopped since 21 April 2017, and the THliner reserved-seat service began on 6 June 2020 with Kuki as its terminus.

Notes
Directly above the station building runs the Tōhoku Shinkansen viaduct, with no platform; surrounding municipalities have long lobbied to add one.
