In a place called Daikumura,the senbakoki is recorded as invented.

The Takashinohama 1-chome area was Takaishi-kita Village in the Edo period. Most residents worked as carpenters, and part of it was called Daikumura, meaning Carpenters' Village. The city board of education's historic-sites guide records that the senbakoki, a threshing tool, was invented there in the Genroku era (1688-1704). A monument honoring the carpenters called Koshi no Takumi was raised in 1974.

A Western-style station buildingwas built to suit the residential district.

Takashinohama Station opened in October 1919 (Taisho 8), the year after the line reached Kyarabashi from Hagoromo. A Western-style station building with stained glass was built to suit the surrounding upscale residential district. The city's sightseeing guide says the original glass is on display at City Hall and the glass in the present building is a replica.

Takashinohama has been written about in poems since early times, and Utagawa Hiroshige drew Izumi Province: Takashi Beach for Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces. The city writes that the shore, a bathing resort in the Meiji era, was developed as a coastal industrial zone, and the sand is about 100 meters.
