• Fukuchiyama Line: Kita-Itami ⇄ Inadera

Itami Station opened on 12 December 1893 as a station of the Settsu Railway, the opening of the section on to Ikeda (now Kawanishi-Ikeda) leaving it an intermediate station; it succeeded the earlier Kawabe Horse Tramway station of the same name. The Settsu Railway merged into the Hankaku Railway in February 1897 and was nationalised on 1 August 1907. The route was renamed the Fukuchiyama Line on 1 March 1912. Freight handling ended on 1 July 1979 and the station gained an overhead, bridge-type station building on 1 April 1981. Operations transferred to JR West on 1 April 1987, the JR Takarazuka Line nickname was added in March 1988, and ICOCA was accepted from 1 November 2003. The station closed for 55 days after the Amagasaki derailment in 2005, reopening on 19 June. Station numbering JR-G52 was assigned in March 2018.

Itami sat in commercial irrelevance for decades — improvements began only after 1981 double-tracking and electrification, then 1997 through-running on the JR Tōzai Line; Aeon Mall Itami opened in the 2000s on Toyo Tire's former factory grounds next to the station.
