Hōsono Station opened on 4 June 1898 as a station on the Kansai Railway. The Kansai Railway was nationalized in 1907 and the line renamed the Sakuranomiya Line in 1909. The Sakuranomiya Line was incorporated into the Katamachi Line in 1913. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West. Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Hōsono being assigned station number JR-H20. [1] [2]
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 2328 passengers daily. [3]
