History
Onoenomatsu Station opened on 19 August 1923 with the inauguration of the Kobe-Himeji Electric Railway. Through corporate changes the operator became Ujigawa Electric in 1927 and then the newly separated Sanyo Electric Railway in 1933, which still runs the line today. After the war the station briefly served limited express trains until December 1948, after which only local trains stopped until the modern S-Limited Express began calling here in 1984. The station was relocated about 300 metres west on 23 July 1965. Two opposing side platforms serve the line, with the main entrance on the Kobe-bound platform and a barrier-free overpass connecting to the Himeji-bound side.

Notes
The "Onoe pine of paired growth" at nearby Onoe Shrine gives the station its name; a parallel JNR Onoe Station closed in November 1984 when the Takasago Line was abandoned.
