History
Takasu opened on 22 August 1922 as one of two intermediate stops — alongside Furue — when Hiroden's Miyajima Line first ran between Koi-machi and Kusatsu-machi, a 2.8-kilometre section. The station is a ground-level 2-platform / 2-track stop in Kogo-kita 3-chome, Nishi-ku, with the platforms staggered across a road crossing between them; the up-side platform towards Hiroden-nishi-hiroshima sits before the crossing and the down-side towards Hiroden-miyajima-guchi sits beyond it. The station carries number M20.

Notes
Takasu was one of just two intermediate stops on the original 1922 Miyajima Line, which ran a mere 2.8 kilometres west from Koi-machi to Kusatsu-machi; the other was Furue, which is still in service today as M21 directly east of Takasu's down-line.
