Sanyo-Himeji Station opened on 19 August 1923 as Himeji-ekimae Station, the terminus of the new Kobe Himeji Electric Railway, in what is now Himeji, Hyōgo Prefecture. It was renamed Dentetsu Himeji Station on 20 November 1943, after the operator had become the Sanyo Electric Railway through earlier mergers. The station building was destroyed in wartime bombing and rebuilt in 1946, then reconstructed as an elevated structure by 1954, integrated with the Sanyo Department Store. It took its present name on 7 April 1991. The four bay platforms on the second floor of the building serve as the western terminus of the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line, 54.7 kilometres from Nishidai. The station averaged 14,948 boardings a day in fiscal 2018.

Although the station shares a building with the Sanyo Department Store directly opposite JR West's Himeji Station, it is not announced as a transfer on Shinkansen trains arriving at JR Himeji.
