• Miyazu Line: Shinonome (Kyoto) ⇄ Nishi-Maizuru

Shisho Station opened on 12 April 1924 with the inauguration of the government railway Miyazu Line between Maizuru (now Nishi-Maizuru) and Miyazu. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1961 and parcel handling on 1 October 1970. The station joined JR West with the 1 April 1987 JNR privatization. On 1 April 1990 the Miyazu Line transferred to the third-sector Kita-Kinki Tango Railway, and the current station building was completed on 29 March 1996, designed to evoke a sekisho checkpoint that once stood nearby. The line was again handed to Willer Trains (Kyoto Tango Railway) on 1 April 2015, becoming part of the Miyamai Line route brand, and the station took alias 'Shisho Shidarezakura Kōen' in March 2014.
