History
Hida-Hosoe Station opened on 25 October 1934 as part of the Rail Ministry's extension of the Takayama Main Line between Hida-Kosaka and Sakakami, in what is now the Kesamaru district of Hida, Gifu Prefecture. Freight services were withdrawn on 21 July 1969, the station was placed under entrusted management on 1 October 1969, and parcel handling ceased on 1 February 1984. The stop was destaffed on 1 April 1985, and JR Central took over at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. Two opposed ground-level side platforms are linked by a footbridge, and the original wooden station building from the year of opening remains in use under management from Takayama Station.
