• JR Hanwa Line: Tennoji ⇄ Minami-Tanabe

Bishōen Station opened on 3 June 1931 on the Hanwa Electric Railway between Hanwa-Tennōji and Minami-Tanabe, with construction costs donated by industrialist Yamaoka Juntarō, who had founded the surrounding Bishōen residential estate ten years earlier. The line was absorbed into Nankai Railway in 1940 and nationalised on 1 May 1944 as the Hanwa Line. A one-ton US bomb fell inside the station on 14 February 1945, shattering the line's reinforced-concrete viaduct piers and leaving more than thirty people dead or injured; the station suspended service and reopened on 15 April 1947. Renovation work was completed on 13 May 1958, and ICOCA service was added in November 2003.

On 14 February 1945 a one-ton US bomb struck Bishōen Station, demolishing the line's reinforced-concrete viaduct piers and leaving more than thirty people dead or injured; the platform was crowded at that moment because a train for Higashi-Wakayama had just departed. A memorial stone erected by station staff in August 1951 stands east of the station.
