• Fukuchiyama Line: Aino (Hyogo) ⇄ Shin-Sanda

Hirono Station opened on March 25, 1899 as a stop on the Hankaku Railway between Sanda and present-day Sasayamaguchi, in what is today Sanda, Hyōgo Prefecture. The Hankaku Railway was nationalized on August 1, 1907; the line-naming reform of October 12, 1909 designated its route the Hankaku Line, and on March 1, 1912 the section south of Fukuchiyama became the Fukuchiyama Line. The station passed to JR West at JNR privatization on April 1, 1987 and received station number JR-G63 on March 17, 2018. After decades as a directly operated station, station duties were contracted out from October 16, 2004, the Midori no Madoguchi closed on November 30, 2025 and the station went unstaffed on December 1, 2025.

Tickets at Hirono carry the parenthesized prefix '(Fuku)' on their face to distinguish them from JR East's identically named Hirono Station in Fukushima Prefecture.
