History

Kōmyōji Station opened on 19 May 1920 as a new stop on the Kyoto Electric Light Company's Echizen Electric Railway between Eiheiji (now Eiheijiguchi) and Todoroki. It became part of Keifuku Electric Railway's Echizen line on 2 March 1942 and was destaffed on 7 June 1956. Following the head-on Echizen Main Line collision of 24 June 2001 and the resulting line-wide suspension, the facilities were transferred to Echizen Railway on 1 February 2003 and service resumed on 19 October 2003 between Eiheijiguchi and Katsuyama on the new Katsuyama Eiheiji Line. A single side platform with a small white-walled waiting shelter serves one bidirectional track.
