Nikaidō Station, in Tenri, Nara Prefecture, opened on 7 February 1915 when the Tenri Light Railway built its line from Shin-Hōryūji to Tenri. The narrow-gauge route was acquired by Osaka Electric Tramway in 1921 and re-gauged to 1435 mm and electrified in 1922. The line passed through the 1941 Kansai Express Railway merger and the 1944 wartime consolidation that formed Kintetsu, the present operator. The two segments flanking the station were double-tracked in 1988, and the station — staffed for most of its history — became completely unstaffed at some point from 1 October 2021 onward.

The station sits just inside Tenri City, but the city boundary runs so close that part of neighbouring Yamatokōriyama is within easy walking distance.
