History

Asakayama Station opened on 22 June 1915 as an Ōsaka Kōya Railway station between Abikomae and Sakai-Higashi, with an island platform serving two tracks. Successive corporate changes made it a Nankai Railway station on 6 September 1922, a Kinki Nippon Railway (Kintetsu) station on 1 June 1944, and a Nankai Electric Railway station on 1 June 1947 by line transfer. An elevated station building was completed on 14 July 1974, and station numbering (NK55) was introduced on 1 April 2012. The station was de-staffed on 1 April 2013. On 28 March 2022 a continuous elevation project between Asakayama and Sakai-Higashi was authorised by the Osaka Prefectural Governor; elevation construction is planned to begin in fiscal 2030 and finish by fiscal 2035.

Notes

Until 2010 a building believed to be the former ground-level station building remained beneath the overhead station building, at the Kōyasan end of Platform 2, but it was removed during the barrier-free renovation completed in 2011. The same renovation raised the platforms — previously the large gap between platform and train had made boarding hazardous — installed an elevator, and replaced the wheelchair-only passages and intercoms with proper accessible facilities.
