History

The station opened on 1 August 1913 between Nishinomiya and Sumiyoshi on the national Tokaido Line. The village of Seido asked for it, and residents paid for part of the building cost. A flood from the Ashiya River damaged the station on 5 July 1938. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1960.

The station became a bridge station in 1969. A station building with a shopping complex, Monte Mer, opened in October 1980. Parcel handling ended on 14 March 1985. The station passed to West Japan Railway Company on 1 April 1987.

The JR Kobe Line name came into use on 13 March 1988. The New Rapid began stopping here at midday on 10 March 1990. On 17 January 1995 the Great Hanshin earthquake destroyed the station, and it was closed. Service between Koshien-guchi and this station resumed on 25 January 1995, and between here and Sumiyoshi on 8 February 1995. From 1 September 1995 all Saturday and holiday New Rapid trains stopped here.

The station's damage was repaired by 16 February 1997, with an elevator and an electronic departure board. The Osaka platform was moved east. The JR Kobe Line approach melody Sazanami came into use on 8 March 1997. Automatic ticket gates opened on 13 December 1997. The Monte Mer west building opened on 23 April 1998.
