History
Mino-Takada Station opened on 31 July 1913 with the original Yōrō Railway's extension between Yōrō and Ikeno. The station passed through a long sequence of operators — Ibigawa Denki in 1922, Yōrō Electric Railway in 1928, Ise Electric Railway in 1929, Yōrō Dentetsu in 1936, Sangū Express in 1940, Kansai Express in 1941 and Kinki Nippon Railway (Kintetsu) in 1944 — before becoming a station on the present-day Yōrō Railway when Kintetsu separated the line on 1 October 2007. The station was destaffed on 21 January 2012, gained an east-side entrance on 2 April 2012, and had an automated ticket machine installed in 2017.

Notes
Under Kintetsu's pre-2004 naming convention, stations with an old-province prefix dropped the prefix in announcements — but Mino-Takada was a permanent exception kept in full because it had to be distinguished from Yamato-Takada Station on the Osaka Line; the latter was likewise referenced with its prefix in Nagoya-region announcements.
