• JR Kibi Line: Bizen-Ichinomiya ⇄ Bizen-Mikado

Daianji Station opened on 25 February 1914 as a temporary stop on the privately held Chūgoku Railway, set up by a local merchant who was also a Chūgoku Railway shareholder. It was upgraded to a full halt (teiryūjō) on 1 July 1915 and to an official station on 23 November 1928. In 1925 a tatami-facing wholesaler named Mano built a long platform there to handle tatami-rush shipments. The Chūgoku Railway's railway operations were nationalised on 1 June 1944, making the stop part of JNR's Kibi Line, and ownership passed to JR West with the 1987 break-up of JNR. ICOCA-compatible simplified faregates were installed on 26 July 2007, and IC-card travel began the following 1 September.

Although the station shares the kanji name 大安寺 with Okayama Prefectural Okayama-Daianji Secondary School, the school is about 1 km away and is more conveniently reached from Kita-Nagase Station on the Sanyō Main Line.
