Takanohara Station opened on 22 November 1972 on the Kintetsu Kyoto Line, timed to coincide with first occupancy at the adjoining Heijō New Town. Construction had begun that July, with a 95-metre platform laid alongside roughly 900 metres of new double track east of the existing line. The proper elevated station building opened on 16 May 1973. Loop tracks and a second island platform were added on 5 December 1976, bringing the layout to two platforms and four tracks, after which express services began stopping on 18 January 1977. Limited express stops were added on 16 March 1999 and expanded in March 2012, while PiTaPa service started on 1 April 2007.

The station building sits in Nara Prefecture, but its sidings cross the prefectural boundary into Kizugawa City, Kyoto Prefecture.
