Shimokoma Station opened on 1 December 1952 on the Japan National Railways Katamachi Line between Hōsono and what was then Tanabe (now Kyotanabe) Station; the neighboring JR-Miyamaki Station opened the same day. The station passed to JR West with the dissolution of JNR on 1 April 1987 and adopted the "Gakkentoshi Line" nickname in March 1988. Automatic ticket gates entered service in March 1999, ICOCA card support followed in November 2003, and platform extension for seven-car trains was completed in March 2010. Station numbering JR-H21 was introduced in March 2018. The unstaffed station has a single side platform serving bidirectional trains.

Shimokoma is single-platform and bidirectional: both Kizu-bound and Kyobashi-bound trains use the same track, with passengers waiting on the same side regardless of direction.
