History
Hozue Station opened on 25 October 1934 on the Ministry of Railways' Takayama Main Line, when the line was extended between Hida-Osaka and Sakakami. Sited in Takayama, Gifu Prefecture, it took its name from the former Hozue village. Parcel handling ended and the station was destaffed on 16 February 1971, and the station's freight role was wound down between 1982 and final abolition in 1995. The station passed to JR Central at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. It has two opposed ground-level side platforms connected by a footbridge.
