• Kisei Line: Tanami ⇄ Kushimoto

Kii-Arita Station opened on 8 August 1940 with the completion of the Japanese National Railways Kisei Nishi Line section between Esumi and Kushimoto. Freight handling was withdrawn on 1 July 1971 and parcel handling ended on 1 April 1978. The stop was destaffed on 14 March 1985, and control passed to West Japan Railway (JR West) when JNR was broken up on 1 April 1987. ICOCA contactless ticketing became available on 13 March 2021. The station sits in the Arita district of Kushimoto, Wakayama, on the Kisei Main Line (Kinokuni Line), and its old station building, south of the tracks, remains in service.

Despite sharing the kanji 有田 with Arida City elsewhere in Wakayama, Kii-Arita has no connection to it — that city's central station is Minoshima — and the station takes its name instead from the Arita district of Kushimoto.
