Hanazono Station opened on 1 January 1898, less than one year after the opening of the Kyoto Railway (predecessor of the San'in Main Line).[2]

Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Hanazono being assigned station number JR-E06.[3][4]

Surrounding area

Just to the north and east is the major temple complex of Myōshin-ji, and the affiliated Hanazono University (to the east, actually closer to Emmachi Station).
