• Kishin Line: Harima-Tokusa ⇄ Nishi Kurisu

Mikazuki Station opened on 24 March 1934 as the temporary western terminus of the Ministry of Railways' Kishin Line, then known as the Himezu Line, on its extension from Harima-Shingū. Later that year, on 28 November, the line was rebadged the Himezu East Line. A further extension to Sayō on 30 July 1935 made Mikazuki a through station, and the line's full Himeji-Higashi-Tsuyama opening followed on 8 April 1936. Freight ceased on 1 April 1962 and parcel on 1 March 1971, with destaffing on 1 November 1986. JR West took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. A new station building, jointly built with the Mikazuki Community Centre, opened on 1 March 2003; the simplified ticket commission ended on 1 October 2019, returning the station to fully unstaffed operation.

The 2003 station building carries on its roof a stylised crescent-moon emblem reflecting the station name "Mikazuki" ("crescent moon").
