History

Kunijima Station opened on 15 October 1925 on the Shinkeihan Railway when the line between Tenjimbashi (now Tenjimbashisuji Rokuchōme) and Awaji was extended. Through successive corporate mergers the station passed to Keihan Electric Railway in 1930, to Keihanshin Express Electric Railway in 1943, and onto the renamed Kyoto Main Line in 1949. In 1959 the Tenjimbashi–Awaji segment was absorbed into the Senriyama Line, renamed the Senri Line in 1967, and the station has been served by Hankyu since. Station numbering HK-87 was introduced on 21 December 2013, and grade-separation works begun in 2008 are now scheduled to switch to elevated tracks at the end of fiscal 2028.

Notes

Kunijima is the only mid-line station on a Hankyu branch where express trains routinely pass without stopping during regular service.
