History

The station opened on 23 December 1888 when the Sanyō Railway extended from Akashi to Himeji. On 1 April 1913, Banshū Railway (now Kakogawa Line) opened its terminal named Kakogawachō, which was merged into Kakogawa Station later (the railway company's application was posted on the Official Gazette (Kanpō) on 14 May 1915, but the actual date of the merger is unknown). The Banshū Railway also opened the line later named the Takasago Line originating from Kakogawachō on 1 December 1913. The Takasago Line closed on December 1, 1984. [2] With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company.

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 23,989 passengers daily [3]
