History
Abiki Station opened on 3 March 1915 with the Banshū Railway's section between Ao and Hōjōmachi, in what is now Kasai, Hyōgo Prefecture. The station passed to the Bantan Railway on 21 December 1923 and was nationalised on 1 June 1943. Freight handling ended on 1 March 1962 and parcel service on 1 October 1973, when the station was made unstaffed. The original station building was destroyed by arson in June 1984. The station passed to the third-sector Hōjō Railway on 1 April 1985, toilets were rebuilt in January 2012, the present station building was completed on 19 February 2013, and a garden was added on the far side of the platform in February 2014.
Notes
On 31 March 1945 a Japanese Navy Shiden-Kai fighter on a test flight from nearby Uzurano Airfield grazed the line between Abiki and Hokkeguchi and made a forced landing; the warped track derailed the train that passed moments later, killing eleven people and injuring 104.
