History

Kamuro Station opened on 1 November 1924 as the terminus of a Nankai Railway extension branching off the Hashimoto–Kinokawaguchi section, with the Tsuma signal station established at the junction. On 25 December 1924 the line was extended further to Kudoyama and Kamuro became an intermediate stop. Under wartime mergers the station passed to Kintetsu in 1944, then to Nankai Electric Railway when the line was transferred back in 1947. In 2009 Kamuro was designated a Modern Industrial Heritage site as part of the Kōyasan pilgrimage-related heritage group, and on 1 April 2013 the station became unstaffed full-time.

Notes

The station's name, written 学文路, reads as "the road of learning" (学問(文)の路), which has made it popular with candidates for entrance examinations; as the exam season approaches the station sells platform tickets in packs of five, because the first characters of go(5)-mai iri (ご(5)枚入り, "pack of five"), nyūjōken (入場券, "platform ticket") and Kamuro-eki (学文路駅) together read go-nyūgaku (ご入学), "entering school".
