• JR Sanyo Main Line: Hachihommatsu ⇄ Nakanohigashi

Seno Station opened on 10 June 1894 with the private San'yō Railway's new Itozaki–Hiroshima section, handling both passengers and freight; the line was nationalised in 1906 and re-named the San'yō Main Line in 1909. Seno marks the western end of the famously steep Seno-hachi climb to Hachihonmatsu, and for decades it housed a banking-engine depot whose locomotives pushed up-bound trains up the grade. The 1987 privatisation transferred the station to JR West; the present overhead-concourse building, with two island platforms and four tracks, opened on 30 March 1997. ICOCA acceptance began on 1 September 2007. The Midori-no-Madoguchi office closed on 30 September 2023, leaving an outsourced staff arrangement.

Until its 2024 closure, the Skyrail Midorizaka Line monorail system connected Seno with the Skyrail Town Midorizaka development above the station; its terminus, Midoriguchi, stood immediately adjacent to Seno on the north side.
