The station building is a modern flat-roofed concrete structure; formerly staffed, it is now unattended and now serves only as a waiting room.

[2][4] Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened what it then designated as the Miyazaki Line between Yoshimatsu and Kobayashi (then named Kobayashimachi) on 1 October 1912.

On 15 December 1923, the stretch of track between Yoshimatsu and Miyakonojō which included Takasaki Shinden, was designated as part of the Nippō Main Line.

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, Takasaki Shinden came under the control of JR Kyushu.
