History
Hiramatsu Station opened on 10 March 1942 as a new intermediate station on the Sanyo Electric Railway Aboshi Line, between today's Sanyo-Temma and Sanyo-Aboshi Stations. The single-track line's passing facility was added when the station building was rebuilt on 1 September 1959. The station was the first on the Sanyo network to introduce naming rights: in December 2018 the local industrial group Yamato Kogyo, headquartered nearby, acquired the rights and the station gained the subtitle "Nearest station for the Yamato Kogyo Group." The station has two opposed unnumbered side platforms connected by a level crossing, with an automated ticket gate but no permanently posted staff; periodic staff visits are made.

Notes
Hiramatsu became the first station on the Sanyo Electric Railway to bear a sponsor-supplied subtitle, after the Yamato Kogyo group bought naming rights in December 2018.
