Ukahongō Station was opened on 19 July 1958. 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).
In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 2 passengers daily.[2]
The station is hidden among the surrounding houses, making it difficult to see from a distance. The sea is close across the field, and the scenery from the train window is good because it passes along the coast from the neighboring Nagato Futami Station to Kogushi Station.
