• Nankai Koya Line: Shimo-Kosawa ⇄ Kii-Hosokawa

Kami-Kosawa Station was established on 18 June 1928 when the Kōyasan Electric Railway opened its line between Kōyashita Station and Kamiya Station (now Kii-Kamiya Station). It became a station of the Nankai Electric Railway through a company name change on 15 March 1947, and in October 2000 station operations were contracted to the subsidiary Nankai Building Service. On 22 October 2017, the effects of Typhoon No. 21 caused the ballast bed within the station premises to wash out and a landslide on the slope west of the station, suspending service between Kōyashita and Gokurakubashi stations. Restoration work was completed on 31 March 2018; the train-exchange function was transferred to the neighboring Shimo-Kosawa Station, so use of the up (inbound) platform was suspended and the station became a single-track configuration. From the same date the station has been unstaffed all day. It sits at an elevation of 230 m, a difference of +138 m from Hashimoto Station, and its station number is NK83.

In 2009, the station was designated a Heritage of Industrial Modernization (Kōyasan pilgrimage-related heritage) together with Kii-Shimizu, Kamuro, Kudoyama, Kōyashita, Shimo-Kosawa, Kii-Hosokawa, Kii-Kamiya, Gokurakubashi, and Kōyasan stations, as well as the Kinokawa Bridge, the Niukawa Bridge, and the cable line, positioning it as one of eleven heritage items that together constitute the historical value of the Kōyasan pilgrimage railway.
