History
Takanobashi opened on 23 November 1912 when the Ujina Line first ran between Kamiya-cho and Miyuki-bashi. In the line's earliest days the section north of this stop was called the Seito-gawa Line and the section south the Miyuki-bashi Line, and the stop's name comes from a bridge over the Seito (Seido) River that once flowed past the site; of the three Ujina Line stops named after Seito-gawa bridges (Seito-bashi, Makomo-bashi, Takanobashi), only Takanobashi still carries the original bridge name today. The stop was suspended after the 6 August 1945 atomic bombing; the Dentetsu-mae - Kamiya-cho section reopened as a single-track on 12 September 1945 and was restored to double-track by mid-December that year. In 2000 nearby track-realignment work shifted the platforms slightly, widening them, adding a full-length roof and broadening the adjacent crosswalk. Station number U5 was assigned in October 1996 and changed to U05 on 3 August 2025.

Notes
Takanobashi is the namesake of the Tetsudo Musume character 'Takano Miyuki' — a small recognition of Hiroden among the long-running railway-mascot character series that pairs anthropomorphised station/line names with specific railway companies.
