History
Mitaki Station opened around October 1930 as Ōshibakōen-guchi halt on the Hiroshima Electric Railway's Kabe-direction line. The line was transferred to the Kōhama Railway on 1 July 1931, the halt was promoted to a station on 1 December 1935, and on 1 September 1936 — when the Kōhama Railway was nationalised — it took its current name as Mitaki Station on the Ministry of Railways' Kabe Line. On 1 October 1962 it was relocated to the west bank of the Ōta Diversion Channel, where it stands today. The 1 April 1987 privatisation brought the station under JR West; ICOCA acceptance and simple automatic gates were added on 1 September 2007. The station has one island platform and is unstaffed.

Notes
A monument in today's Misasa-kita-machi Park marks the location of the original Mitaki Station, on the east bank of the Ōta River, abandoned when the Ōta Diversion Channel project moved the line to the river's west bank in 1962.
