Station history
Hyōtan-yama Station was opened on June 3, 1936, on the privately operated Seto Electric Railway. The Seto Electric Railway was absorbed into the Meitetsu group on September 1, 1939. The station was closed from 1944 to 1946 due to World War 2. The platforms were lengthened in March 1978. A new station building was completed on October 6, 1981, and the station was staffed for the first time. However, with the introduction of the Tranpass system of magnetic fare cards with automatic turnstiles in December 2006, the station has again been unattended.
