History

Kimitōge Station opened on 11 March 1915 on the Takano Mountain Railway between Mikkaichichō and Hashimoto, in what is now the city of Hashimoto, Wakayama Prefecture. The operator was renamed the Osaka Takano Railway later that year and merged into the Nankai Railway in 1922; the Nankai network was absorbed into Kintetsu under wartime consolidation in 1944 and re-emerged as the present Nankai Electric Railway in 1947. The Tenmi - Kimitōge section was doubled in 1979 and the Kimitōge - Miyukitsuji section in 1983, prompting reconstruction of both platforms. Station numbering (NK74) was introduced in April 2012. The station is unstaffed and supervised remotely from Rinkan Den'en Toshi.

Notes

Kimitōge is the northernmost railway station in Wakayama Prefecture; the gap to neighbouring Tenmi Station is 3.7 km — the longest interstation distance on the entire Nankai Kōya Line.
