It opened on 14 March 2015, coinciding with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Nagano to Kanazawa.

Shin-Takaoka Station is served by the Jōhana Line and the high-speed Hokuriku Shinkansen line from Tokyo to Kanazawa, and is located 305.8 km from the official starting point of the line at Takasaki. Semi-fast Hakutaka Tokyo-to-Kanazawa services and all-stations Tsurugi Toyama-to-Kanazawa shuttle services stop at Shin-Takaoka.

The station consists of elevated platforms for the Hokuriku Shinkansen running east to west, with exits on the north and south sides. The Jōhana Line platform is located at ground level, running north to south on the west side of the station complex. A west exit is also provided to the west of the Jōhana Line platforms.

The single-track Jōhana Line is served by an un-numbered ground-level side platform.
