History
The station opened on 1 April 1927 as Nishi-Ikuta Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line, the western counterpart of what was then Higashi-Ikuta (today Ikuta). It became a regular all-stations stop in June 1945, joined the Semi-Express network on 1 October 1946, and was added to the Sakura Semi-Express and Commuter Semi-Express services in 1948 and 1960. On 1 March 1964 it was renamed Yomiuri-Land-mae after the opening of the nearby Yomiuriland amusement park later that month. The current station building entered service on 27 August 1995, and station number OH 21 was assigned in January 2014.

Notes
Although the station is named for the Yomiuriland park, the park itself is about a ten-minute bus ride away; the Keio line's later Keio-Yomiuri-Land station sits on the opposite side of the park, roughly three kilometres distant.
