History
Taki Station opened on 10 August 1913 as Kari-Takino (仮滝野) Station on the Banshū Railway's Kunikane (現・厄神) – Nishiwaki section, passenger-only. On 28 August 1913 it was downgraded to a stop and renamed Taki Stop. The station was suspended on 1 January 1914 and reopened on 1 May 1914, then downgraded to a temporary stop on 9 May 1921. The Banshū Railway became part of Banshū-Tan Railway through transfer on 21 December 1923. The Banshū-Tan Railway was nationalised in June 1943 and Taki was elevated to permanent-station status on 1 June 1943 as a JNR Kakogawa Line station. It became unstaffed on 1 August 1949. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it joined JR West. The Kakogawa Railway Department was formed on 1 June 1990 and Taki was placed under its jurisdiction; that department was abolished on 1 July 2009 and the station was transferred to direct Kobe Branch jurisdiction under Kakogawa Station. ICOCA simplified IC-only ticket gates began on 26 March 2016.
