History

The station opened on 10 March 1882 on the Japanese Government Railway (JGR).

The station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company (JR West) on 1 April 1987 due to the privatization of Japan National Railway.

Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Kinomoto being assigned station number JR-A05.[1][2]
