Sakakami Station opened on 12 November 1933 as the terminus of the Ministry of Railways' Hietsu Line. The line became part of the Takayama Main Line on 25 October 1934 when the connection to Hida-Osaka via Takayama was completed. Freight handling ended in August 1969, parcel handling in February 1984, and the station was destaffed on 1 April 1985. After JNR privatisation in April 1987 it came under JR Central. The current building was rebuilt in November 1996 and in 2002 was selected for the 4th "100 Best Stations of Chūbu." Typhoon Tokage forced a long closure of the Hida-Furukawa–Inotani section from 22 October 2004; full service resumed on 8 September 2007.

The 1996 station building, a two-storey steel-framed structure in mountain-hut style, shares space with the "Yuhing Gallery," a library of Belgian picture books that the former village of Miyagawa established as part of a manga-themed regional revitalisation effort.
