History
Takino Station opened on 1 September 1913 as a stop on the Banshū Railway between today’s Yashiro-chō and Taki, and from 1916 it was known as Bantetsu-Takino. The line passed to Bantan Railway in 1923 and was nationalised in June 1943, at which point the station was given its present name as part of the Kakogawa Line. Freight handling ended in 1968, parcels in 1973, and the station was made unstaffed in 1986. With the 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways operation passed to JR West, and ICOCA acceptance was added in March 2016 via simple gate readers. The current station building, completed in 1995, houses a small gallery.
