Shirahamanomiya Station opened on 19 August 1923 with the inauguration of the Kobe-Himeji Electric Railway, on what is now the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line in the Shirahama district of Himeji, Hyōgo Prefecture. The operator was absorbed by Ujigawa Electric in 1927, and the railway division was spun off as the Sanyo Electric Railway in 1933. The station became an express stop on 15 April 1949 but lost express service in March 1984. An overhead concourse was added on 1 July 1972, raising the station building above the tracks. Morning and evening limited-express and through-limited-express trains began stopping on 20 March 2009, and barrier-free improvements including three lifts and an accessible toilet were completed on 30 March 2011.

On 14-15 October each year the station overflows with crowds heading to the famous Nada Kenka Matsuri at nearby Matsubara Hachiman Shrine - through-limited-express trains, which normally do not stop, are added during the festival.
