Bijodaira Station opened on 13 August 1954 as a station of the Tateyama Development Railway funicular at an elevation of 977 metres in Ashikuraji, Tateyama. It functions as the cable-car terminus on the Toyama-side approach to the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, connecting downhill to Tateyama Station and onward by Tateyama Kogen bus toward Midagahara and Murodō. The original station building was fully rebuilt in 1973, and after Tateyama Development Railway merged with Tateyama Kurobe Kankō on 1 October 2005 the operating company became its present owner. The current two-storey station with shops, an observation deck and a rest room was completed on 12 July 2007.

Until 1997 the original station building had an adjoining hotel, the Bijodaira Hotel, which had opened in 1961 as a lodge for alpine-route travellers; competition from higher-altitude lodgings and onsen towns eventually closed the rooms, and the structure was demolished when the present building was constructed.
