History

Takeno Station opened on 25 October 1911 when the Railway Agency's Bantan Line was extended from Kinosaki (today Kinosaki-Onsen) to Kasumi, in what is now the city of Toyooka, Hyōgo Prefecture. The line was redesignated as part of the San'in Main Line on 1 March 1912. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1970, and on 1 April 1983 the station became a contracted-staff station. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it came under JR West, and from 1 October 2022 the station has been administered by JR West's Kinki Region General Headquarters' Fukuchiyama branch. The original wood-tiled station building from 1911 still stands.

Notes

On 6 October 1968, in connection with the 23rd National Sports Festival, an Imperial special train carrying the Shōwa Emperor and Empress Kōjun departed Takeno bound for Takeda Station, a piece of imperial railway history retained in the station's chronology.
