History
Uneno Station opened on 3 November 1923 on what is now the Nose Electric Railway Myōken Line in Kawanishi, Hyōgo Prefecture. The station was relocated to its present site on 19 May 1974. Barrier-free reconstruction was completed in 2010, when elevators, multifunction toilets, and two-level handrails were added alongside the up-and-down escalators already on both platforms, making it arguably the most accessible station on the Nose Electric Railway. The two opposed side platforms are 8 cars long to accommodate the Hinase Express limited express, which (with all other Nose Electric Railway services) calls here. The southern end of the platform abuts the Uneno Tunnel. Station number NS09.

Notes
The name comes from the medieval "Une-no Maki," a stock pasture managed by Settsu Province from around the 9th century near the confluence of the Inagawa and Nosegawa rivers; the kanji shifted from 畝野 to 畦野 over time.
