Tanikawa Station, in the city of Tamba in Hyōgo Prefecture, opened on 25 May 1899 as a station on the Hankaku Railway, the private line that became the Fukuchiyama Line. On 27 December 1924 the Bantan Railway extended its line to Tanikawa from Nomura (now Nishiwaki-shi), making the station the northern terminus of what is today the Kakogawa Line. The Bantan Railway was nationalised on 1 June 1943 and its line became the Kakogawa Line. JR West inherited the station at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways. ICOCA service was introduced in March 2021, the staffed Midori no Madoguchi ticket window closed in March 2025, and the station became fully unattended on 1 April 2025.

Although the Fukuchiyama and Kakogawa lines meet here, no operational connection between the two is provided — passengers must change trains and the rails are linked only via a shunting siding at the west end of the station.
