Sanyo-Sone Station opened on 19 August 1923 as Sonecho Station (曽根町駅) with the inauguration of the Kobe-Himeji Electric Railway. It was renamed Dentetsu Sone Station (電鉄曽根駅) in February 1924, passed to Ujigawa Electric in April 1927, and to Sanyo Electric Railway in June 1933. The station building was rebuilt on 10 July 1989, and the station received its current name Sanyo-Sone on 7 April 1991. Station number SY 34 was later assigned. The station has two opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing and is unstaffed, although ticket vending and fare adjustment machines remain in the distinctive triangular-roofed station building.

Sanyo-Sone and the unrelated JR Sone Station 2 km north both took their name from Sone Tenmangu shrine, although Sanyo-Sone is the closer of the two to the shrine itself.
