The station that is today known as Mikakino opened on 21 January 1926 as Hokyūbu-mae ("In front of the Supply Depot") Station, a terminus of the Kakamigahara Railway about 400 m towards Gifu from the present site. On 7 July 1926 it was renamed Kagamino Station (the second of that name), with the older Kagamino Station simultaneously renamed Shin-Naka. On 1 August 1926 it became an intermediate stop with the line's extension. It was renamed Kagami-Hokyūbu-mae and moved to its present location on 27 June 1931. The Kakamigahara Railway merged with Meigi Tetsudō (now Meitetsu) in March 1935; in August of that year the station was renamed Kōkushō-mae ("In front of the Air Arsenal"), then renamed Mikakino on 1 December 1938 to mask the military facility. The station building was damaged in the 22 June 1945 Kakamigahara air raid, and a U.S. military-occupation siding remained until 1958. The current station building dates from a 2007 reconstruction tied to the introduction of the TRANPASS smart-card system; manaca service began on 11 February 2011 and the station was fully unstaffed from 13 April 2024.

Mikakino is the nearest station to the Kawasaki Heavy Industries Aerospace Systems Gifu Works and stands next to the JASDF Gifu Air Base. On the morning of the air base's annual autumn airshow, services that normally turn back at Shin-Unuma are extended to Mikakino to handle the crowds; since the station was made unstaffed in 2024 and can no longer sell Mu Tickets, those extensions have been limited to Express and Semi Express trains, with Mu Sky, Rapid Limited Express and Limited Express services no longer running through.
