History
Mino-Hongō Station opened on 1 June 1920 on the original Yōrō Railway between Ikeno and Ibi. Through the next two decades the station passed through a sequence of operator changes — Ibigawa Electric (1922), Yōrō Electric Railway (1928), Ise Electric Railway Yōrō Line (1929), the reseparated Yōrō Electric (1936), Sangū Kyūkō (1940), and Kansai Kyūkō (1941) — before becoming part of Kintetsu in 1944 through the merger with Nankai. The Yōrō Line was spun off from Kintetsu on 1 October 2007 to the new Yōrō Railway company, the station's current operator. The platform is a single side platform with no station building; the station is unstaffed and an automatic ticket machine is scheduled for installation on 5 January 2026.
