History

Kishiwada Station opened on 1 October 1897 when the Nankai Railway began service between Sakai and Sano (today's Izumisano). A second station building with a distinctive semi-circular stained-glass façade was completed in 1929. Wartime consolidation transferred the station to Kintetsu in June 1944, and a 1947 line transfer returned it to Nankai. Continuous grade-separation construction inside Kishiwada began on 20 October 1987; the inbound line was elevated on 17 May 1992 and full elevation was completed on 6 July 1994. An east-side bus terminal opened on 7 February 1996. Station numbering NK24 was introduced on 1 April 2012.

Notes

The current third-generation station echoes its 1929 predecessor through stained-glass panels and semi-circular windows that reference the original Western-style façade.
