Location
History
Andō Station opened on 1 July 1927, at the same time as the opening of the Osaka Electric Tramway's Yagi Line (now the Osaka Line) between Onji and Takada (now Yamato-Takada). It became a station of the Kansai Express Railway through merger with the Sangū Express Electric Railway in March 1941, and of Kintetsu (Kinki Nippon Railway) through merger in June 1944. Use of an over-track station building began on 16 December 1999, and the IC card "PiTaPa" became usable in April 2007. On 20 March 2012 it became a stop for the newly created section semi-express (kukan junkyū) services, and it became unstaffed all day on 10 November 2024. During the January 1932 collapse of the Kamenose Tunnel, a temporary Kashiwara halt was established just south of this station to provide substitute transport for the Japanese National Railways Kansai Main Line.
Notes
When the collapse of the Kamenose Tunnel in January 1932 suspended service on the Japanese National Railways Kansai Main Line between Kashiwara and Ōji, a "Kashiwara temporary halt" was set up adjacent to this station, and for a time the Kintetsu Osaka Line (then the Daiki line) provided substitute transport for the Kansai Main Line.
