Sumadera Station was established on 15 March 1910, when the Hyōgo Electric Tramway opened its line from Hyōgo (later Dentetsu-Hyōgo) to Suma (now Sanyo-Suma), with separate up and down platforms straddling the Sumadera level crossing. It became a station of Ujigawa Electric in April 1927, and was reconfigured with opposed platforms when the down platform was relocated in August 1928. It became a station of Sanyo Electric Railway with the transfer of the rail business in June 1933, and the turnback track was removed in September 1947. With the opening of the Kobe Rapid Transit Railway in April 1968, through trains from Hanshin and Hankyu began stopping there, and the station building was rebuilt in March 1992. It was temporarily closed by the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake but was fully reopened by April. It is a ground-level station with two opposed platforms serving two tracks; the station building is on the Kobe-bound platform side and is connected to the opposite platform by a level crossing within the station grounds. Its station number is SY 05.

Unusually, only around 20% of Sumadera's daily riders use commuter passes, a far smaller share than the 50–60% typical at other Sanyo Electric Railway stations.
