History

Chōkoku-no-mori Station was opened on June 1, 1919 as {{nihongo|Ni-no-Taira Station|二ノ平駅|Ninotaira-eki}}. It was renamed to its present name on March 15, 1972 on the opening of the nearby Hakone Open-Air Museum of modern sculpture.

On 1 April 2024, operations of the station came under the aegis of Odakyu Hakone resulting from restructuring of Odakyu Group operations in the Hakone area.{{Cite web |author=Odakyu Hakone Holdings Co., Ltd. |date=24 January 2024 |title=小田急箱根グループの組織再編に関するお知らせ |trans-title=Notice regarding reorganization of Odakyu Hakone Group |url=https://www.odakyu-hakone.jp/common/pdf/20240124_info.pdf |language=Japanese}}
