History
Takanekido Station opened on 8 October 1948 as part of the Shin-Keisei Electric Railway in Funabashi, Chiba. The station sits 20.1 km from the Matsudo terminus and is built around a single island platform with an elevated station hall; an earlier layout placed the station building at one end of the platform and required a level crossing for street access. Station numbering was applied in February 2014 under the code SL18. After Keisei Electric Railway absorbed Shin-Keisei Electric Railway, control transferred on 1 April 2025 and the line was rebranded as the Keisei Matsudo Line, with the station renumbered KS71.

Notes
The station name traces back to a gate (kido) of the Edo-era Kogane-makiba pasture, of which the local hamlet was once a part.
