• JR Sanyo Main Line: Tatsuno (Hyogo) ⇄ Harima-Katsuhara

Aboshi Station opened on 11 November 1889 with the Sanyō Railway's Himeji–Tatsuno extension. The line was nationalised in 1906 and redesignated the Sanyō Main Line in 1909. The privately operated Banden Railway briefly served the station forecourt from 1909 to 1934. A 1968 facility built west of the station was reorganised in 1970 as Aboshi Train Depot and grew into the present Aboshi General Rolling Stock Yard by 2000, making Aboshi the start and end of many Kobe/Osaka-direction trains. The bridge-style station building entered service on 1 March 1978, JR West took over at the 1987 privatisation, and Aboshi gained Rakuraku-Harima limited-express service on 16 March 2024.

Despite the name, the station sits 3.5 km from the historical centre of the former town of Aboshi; that district is instead served by Sanyo Aboshi Station, which opened in 1941.
