History
Hido Station opened on 18 July 1922 on the original Iga Railway as Abo Station (阿保駅). It was renamed Hido on 19 November 1930 when the Sangu Express Electric Railway opened its own Abo Station (now Aoyamacho) nearby. Through a series of wartime mergers the line passed to the Sangu Express Electric Railway in 1931, then to Kansai Express Railway in 1941, and finally to Kintetsu on 1 June 1944. Freight operations ended on 1 October 1973, and the station building was removed on 16 November 1999. In October 2007 the line was spun off as the independent Iga Railway. The single side platform serves bidirectional traffic and can hold two cars.

Notes
In April 2020 the station gained a secondary name, "Bamboo Bouldering Mae", after a climbing gym opened beside the platform; the side platform now sees fewer than thirty boarding passengers a day.
