History

Mine Station was opened on 15 September 1916 as the Yoshinori Temporary Stop (吉則停留場, Yoshinori Teiryujo) on the Ōmine Light Railway between Isa Station (present-day Minami-Ōmine Station) and Shigeyasu Station. It was elevated to a full passenger station on 1 June 1920 as Yoshinori Station (吉則駅) when the line was nationalized. The station was renamed on 1 October 1963. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan railway Company (JR West).
