The station opened on October 10, 1930, as a terminal station upon the extension of the Hiroo Line from Nakasatsunai to Taiki. The line was further extended to the port city of Hiroo in 1932.
The station had freight service until September 10, 1982, and baggage service until February 1, 1984.

Layout
As of its closure, Taiki had two platforms and two lines, and served as an interchange station for train meets. The platforms were connected by a level crossing inside the station. The platform by the station building (Track 1) was used for Hiroo-bound trains, while the island platform opposite the station building (Track 2) was used for Obihiro-bound trains.
