Location
History
Myōjō Station opened on 27 March 1930 as part of the Sangu Express Electric Railway's Matsusaka to Gekū-mae (now Miyamachi) section. The line became part of Kansai Express Railway's Yamada Line after the merger with Osaka Electric Tramway on 15 March 1941, and was incorporated into Kintetsu when Kansai Express merged with Nankai Railway on 1 June 1944. PiTaPa service began on 1 April 2007. The station is paired with the Myōjō Inspection Centre, the Kintetsu rolling-stock depot that serves the Yamada, Toba and Shima lines. Window sales of season tickets and limited-express tickets ended on 2 October 2019, and the limited-express ticket vending machine itself was retired on 18 September 2024.
Notes
Myōjō Station serves as an operations base for the Yamada, Toba and Shima lines: the adjoining Kintetsu Myōjō Train Inspection Centre is the depot for the Yamada Line system, including the Toba and Shima lines, which have no depot of their own.
