History

Hie Station opened on 27 December 1924 as a passenger and freight station on the privately built Banshū Railway, on the section connecting Nomura (today's Nishiwakishi) with Tanikawa. The Banshū Railway was nationalised on 1 June 1943 and the station became part of Japanese National Railways' Kakogawa Line. Freight handling was discontinued on 1 March 1962 and parcel handling on 1 October 1973, when the station was effectively destaffed save for a one-year daytime attendant period. JR West took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. In November 2019 the timber station building was demolished and replaced with a barrier-free ramp; the lone surviving Somei-Yoshino cherry, planted at opening, remains beside the disused opposite platform.
