• Nara Line: Tofukuji ⇄ Momoyama

Inari Station opened on 18 August 1879 as the official Japanese Government Railways stop nearest the great Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine, on the original alignment of what would become the Tōkaidō Main Line. The 1921 opening of the new Higashiyama and Shin-Ōsakayama tunnel route between Baba and Kyoto stations rerouted the main line, and the section from Kyoto through Inari to a new Momoyama connection was transferred to the Nara Line, leaving Inari a Nara Line station from 1 August 1921 onward. The current concrete station building dates from March 1935. JR West succeeded JNR on 1 April 1987, and the JR-D03 station number was introduced in March 2018; from the March 2026 timetable revision Miyakoji rapid services stop here year-round.

The station preserves Japan's oldest surviving railway lamp shed (rampu-goya), a quasi-railway-monument relic of the original Tōkaidō Main Line that today houses station-related artefacts inside the modern Inari precinct.
