History
Asakurajinja-mae Station opened on 16 September 1907 with the Ino Line extension from Kagamigawabashi to Kōnai. Some sources record the original name as Miya-no-mae. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger. The two platforms sit diagonally opposite across the single track — Harimaya-bashi-bound on the west with a small roofed platform, Ino-bound on the east marked only by a painted line on the road shoulder.

Notes
Asakura Shrine is across the JR Dosan Line crossing to the north — its main hall (本殿) is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property of Japan. The Asakura castle ruins (朝倉城址) lie south of the stop, completing the historical pairing.
