History
Taki Station opened on 31 December 1893 as Ōka Station on the private Sangū Railway, in what is now Taki, Mie Prefecture. The Sangū Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1907, and on 20 March 1923 the Kisei East Line was connected here, prompting the station's renaming to Ōkaguchi. It received its present name on 15 July 1959, when the Kisei East Line and the line beyond toward Kameyama were absorbed into the Kisei Main Line. The station became part of JR Central on 1 April 1987 at JNR privatisation. Scheduled freight operations were discontinued from 1 April 2016.

Notes
The stretch of the Kisei Main Line west from Taki to Gobō runs 283.8 kilometres without intersecting any other railway — the longest such unbroken segment of any JR or private railway line in Japan.
