The station started as Matsuoyama Signal Box (松尾山信号場, Matsuoyama Shingōjō) on 17 August 1929, and was replaced by the passenger station under the current name on 15 April 1936. It was originally located in the site of the present Torokko Hozukyō Station on the Sagano Scenic Railway. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company. The station was moved to the present location on 5 March 1989, when the new route of the Sanin Main Line was opened.[2] The old railway track and the closed station was revived as the Sagano Scenic Railway and its stop on 27 April 1991.
Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Hozukyō being assigned station number JR-E09.[3][4]
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 358 passengers daily.[5]
