Kōyasan Station is a station of the Nankai Electric Railway's cable line (the Kōyasan Cable), located in Kōyasan, Kōya-chō, Itō District, Wakayama Prefecture, and is the terminus of that line. The station sits at an elevation of 867 m, station number NK87. It opened on 29 June 1930, at the same time as the opening of the Kōyasan Electric Railway's cable line. It became a station of the Nankai Electric Railway through a company name change on 15 March 1947; station operations were contracted to the subsidiary Nankai Building Service in October 2000, and station numbering was introduced on 1 April 2012. Seismic reinforcement and renovation work on the station building began on 7 July 2014 and was completed on 20 February 2015; a renewal commemoration ceremony was held on the 22nd of the same month, and a second-floor observation room opened. The station has been selected for the "100 Selected Stations of Kinki."

The two-story wooden station building, completed in 1928, is based on a Western-style design but, fitting for its role as the gateway station to Kōyasan, has a temple-style hōgyō-zukuri pyramidal roof topped with a hōju jewel finial; it was registered in 2005 as a national Registered Tangible Cultural Property under the name "Nankai Electric Railway Cable Line Kōyasan Station Building." In March 2009, an elevator was installed at the downhill (mountain-foot) end of the alighting-side platform, the first at any Japanese station served solely by a cable car.
