Hijidai Station opened on 1 October 1957 as a Japanese National Railways stop added between Kami-Takase (today Takase) and Motoyama on the existing Yosan Line, in what is today the city of Mitoyo, Kagawa Prefecture. Local mayors had lobbied for the station since the mid-1930s, and land for it was provided by the village of Hijidai in 1953. With the 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation the station passed to JR Shikoku as station Y17, 50.0 kilometres from the line origin at Takamatsu. The unstaffed station has one side platform and a shelter; a municipal toilet stands in the forecourt.

The original platform was only 50 metres long and served just three daily train pairs, and it was too short to take passenger carriages — until neighbouring residents organised volunteer labour to haul fill dirt themselves and lengthen the platform.
