History
Iho Station opened on 19 August 1923 alongside the Kōbe-Himeji Denki Tetsudō, in what is now Takasago, Hyōgo Prefecture. Through corporate consolidation the line passed to Ujigawa Denki in April 1927 and to the present Sanyo Electric Railway in June 1933. The station building was refurbished in 1947, the platforms were lengthened in December 1968, and the building was rebuilt in March 1982. Today the station has two opposed ground-level side platforms connected by a level crossing, with the ticket window largely unstaffed. Operations were temporarily suspended in February 2013 after a train-truck collision at a crossing near Arai forced a partial line closure.

Notes
In February 2013 the station was briefly shuttered when a Hanshin-bound through-limited-express collided with a truck at Shinkō-mae crossing near Arai Station and forced suspension of services between Takasago and Ōshio.
