History
Une Station opened on 10 July 1890 as the terminus of the San'yō Railway's extension from Tatsuno, in what is now the city of Akō, Hyōgo Prefecture. The San'yō Railway was nationalised on 1 December 1906. From 1921 until 1951 the privately owned Akō Railway connected to Une from the south. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station came under JR West. A new elevated station building, replacing what had been the oldest surviving station building in Hyōgo Prefecture, opened on 1 October 2017 and the station became fully unattended at the same time. ICOCA support was added on 15 September 2018.

Notes
The old wooden station building demolished in the 2017 rebuild was reputedly the oldest surviving station structure in Hyōgo Prefecture; that distinction now belongs to the 1894-vintage buildings at Kōro and Tsurui on the Bantan Line.
