Location
History
Mikunigaoka Station opened on 15 February 1942 as the interchange between Nankai Railway's Kōya Line and the former Hanwa Electric Railway, with the only ticket gate on what is now the west side and pedestrians reaching the Hanwa platforms via a level crossing. The Hanwa section was nationalised in May 1944 and passed to JR West at JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. JR's Hanwa platforms were extended to take eight-car trains in May 1999, ICOCA was introduced on 1 November 2003 and Nankai's PiTaPa on 1 July 2006. A 2011–2014 reconstruction lifted the Nankai station onto a footbridge with a new east entrance on 7 September 2013, abolished the inter-operator transfer gates, and added the N.KLASS Mikunigaoka retail complex in 2014. JR R-line numbering JR-R29 began on 17 March 2018.
Notes
The station's name comes from the historic three-province border between Settsu, Kawachi and Izumi, which once ran past Hōchigai Shrine just north of the station.
