History
Aino Station opened on 25 March 1899, when the Hankaku Railway extended its line between Sanda and Sasayama (present-day Sasayamaguchi), and began handling passengers and freight. It became a station of the Imperial Railway Agency at nationalization on 1 August 1907, and was placed on the Fukuchiyama Line in the line-name revision of 1 March 1912. A reinforced-concrete station building was completed on 13 August 1963; freight handling ended on 1 April 1973 and parcel handling on 14 March 1985. JR West took over at the privatization of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, and the "JR Takarazuka Line" nickname has been used since 13 March 1988. ICOCA became usable on 1 November 2003, and station number JR-G64 was introduced on 17 March 2018. The station became unstaffed all day on 1 December 2025.
Notes
Aino is the only station on the Shin-Sanda – Sasayamaguchi section fitted with automatic ticket gates that have a ticket-collecting function. Many of its passengers transfer to buses at the station to continue to work or school, and some residents of Miki, Katō and Tamba-Sasayama use it as well.
