• JR Ako Line: Nishi-Aioi ⇄ Banshu-Ako

Sakoshi Station opened on 12 December 1951 with the inauguration of the Akō Line's Aioi to Banshū-Akō section, in what is now Akō, Hyōgo Prefecture. Freight operations ceased in April 1962 and parcels handling in February 1984. The station came under JR West at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of the Japanese National Railways. Automatic fare gates were installed in December 1998, and ICOCA acceptance followed in November 2003. The ticket window was closed on 30 November 2024 and the station became fully unstaffed the next day. Today it has a single ground-level side platform, with the building reduced to roughly half its original footprint.

The unusually wide gap between platform and station building survives as a remnant of the abandoned pre-WWII "Bullet Train" (dangan ressha) trunk-line plan that once threaded through this section.
