History

Shibayama Station opened on 26 June 1947 on the San'in Main Line in Kuchisazu village (now Kami, Mikata District, Hyōgo), built to ship seafood landed at Shibayama Port to the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe market. A freight-only spur laid in 1946 was the immediate catalyst for the new passenger stop. A second platform was added on 1 October 1965, freight handling ended on 1 October 1971 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984, after which the station became unstaffed. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR West. The sea-side platform was closed on 3 March 2001, the wooden station building, in use since the 1947 opening, was demolished in late 2018, and a small concrete replacement entered service in January 2020.

Notes

The station's original wooden building, completed in 1946 and in use from the station's opening in June 1947, was demolished in autumn 2018 and replaced by a concrete structure of about 11 square metres that entered service in January 2020.
