History
Mizuma-Kannon opened on 30 January 1926 — though the operator's official history puts it on 24 December 1925 — as the terminus of the Mizuma Railway's Mizuma Line when the line was extended from Nagose. Automatic ticket gates were installed in August 1991, and on 17 February 1998 the station building was added to the national register of tangible cultural properties. The station was renamed Mizuma-Kannon on 1 June 2009 to play up its role as the gateway to Mizuma Temple. A station renewal positioning it as the 'Moss-Ball Station' was completed on 24 December 2018, and in June 2023 an in-house udon shop named Kingoma-ki Udon opened inside the station. A subsidiary name, Izumi Daigaku-mae, was added on 1 April 2026.
Notes
The original 1926 station building is designed in the shape of Mizuma Temple's two-storey pagoda, was registered as a national tangible cultural property in 1998, and was chosen for the first 'Hundred Stations of Kinki' list.
