History
Sakahogi Station opened on November 12, 1921 on what was then the Takayama Line (renamed the Takayama Main Line in 1934), serving the town of Sakahogi in Kamo District, Gifu Prefecture. The station handled both passengers and freight until freight operations were curtailed in 1973 and parcel handling ended in 1984. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways on April 1, 1987, the station passed to Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central). It became unstaffed in 2004, and the long-standing wooden station building dating from opening was finally closed in September 2024, replaced in March 2026 by a new structure built and owned by Japan Post, sharing the building with the local post office.

Notes
The 2026 rebuild made Sakahogi the first JR Central station to share a building with a post office, though post-office staff do not work the station counter.
