• Takayama Line: Hozue ⇄ Hida-Ichinomiya

Takayama Station opened on 25 October 1934 with the extension of the Takayama Main Line between Hida-Osaka and Sakanoue, in a wooden two-storey building that served the station for some eighty years. From the 1998 fiscal year the city pursued a Takayama Station Area Land Readjustment Project; an agreement with JR Central in 2000 led to a new elevated station house designed by architect Hiroshi Naitō and JR Central Consultants. The original building closed on 1 December 2014 and a temporary structure took over; the new station house and east-west "Takumi-dōri" passage opened on 2 October 2016, and TOICA IC acceptance began on 1 October 2025.

The new station building uses Hida cypress for its ceilings and walls, while a black wooden lattice on the outside walls echoes the merchant houses of the old town district.
