History
Makiochi Station opened on 30 December 1921 as a new stop between Sakurai and Mino-o on the Mino-o Arima Electric Tramway, the predecessor of today's Hankyu Railway. The Hankyu-wide station-numbering scheme was introduced on 21 December 2013, assigning the station the code HK-58. The station has two opposed side platforms; it is classified as a halt (停留所) because it has no point switches or absolute signals. The ticket gate is in a half-underground level beneath the tracks, sandwiched between two parallel roads.

Notes
The platform's effective length is enough for eight-car trains, but no scheduled eight-car services run on the Mino-o Line, so in practice only the four-car portion is used. Surrounding neighbourhoods include the Hyakuraku-sō residential district, regarded as one of the upscale areas of Settsu Hokubu.
