• Kakogawa Line: Kanno ⇄ Kakogawa

Hioka Station opened on 1 April 1913 as a passenger-only station on the Banshu Railway extension between today's Kakogawa Station and Yakujin Station. It passed to Bantan Railway in December 1923 after a line transfer, and was nationalized as part of JNR's Kakogawa Line on 1 June 1943. The station building was rebuilt in April 1948, parcel handling ended in 1973, and the station passed to JR West with the dissolution of JNR on 1 April 1987. It was made fully unstaffed in October 1990, ICOCA service began in March 2016, and a new station building opened in July 2025, replacing the wooden 1948 structure.

The 1948 station building that served Hioka for 77 years was a wood-frame single-story structure with a tiled roof; it was replaced by an adjacent new building in July 2025.
