Jōkōji Station traces its origin to Tamano Signal Station, established on 19 May 1919 between Tajimi Station and Kōzōji Station on the Government Railways' Chūō Main Line. It was upgraded to Jōkōji Temporary Stop on 15 August 1920 and began passenger service, and on 1 January 1924 it was upgraded to Jōkōji Station and also began handling parcels. Following the end of parcel handling and the station becoming unstaffed in October 1970, it became a station of JR Central at the privatization of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. The IC card "TOICA" has been usable there since 25 November 2006. Its station number is CF10. Its platform sits on a cliff edge on the right bank of the Tamano River (Shōnai River) gorge, and while it has the air of a secluded, hard-to-reach station, some four to seven trains run in each direction per hour as part of the Nagoya commuter zone.

The station is located in Tamano-chō, Kasugai, but Jōkōji, the old Rinzai-sect temple after which the station is named, stands on the opposite bank of the river, on the Seto City side.
