• Hankyu Kyoto Main Line: Higashimuko ⇄ Nagaokatenjin

Nishi-Mukō Station opened on 1 November 1928 as Nishi-Mukōmachi Station when the Shin-Keihan Railway extended its line from Takatsuki-machi to Kyoto-Saiin (today’s Hankyu Kyoto Main Line). The operator passed through Keihan Electric Railway (1930) and Keihanshin Express Electric Railway (1943) before settling as Hankyu Corporation, and the line was renamed the Kyoto Main Line in 1949. The station took its present shortened name on 1 October 1972, when Mukō-machi was promoted to Mukō City. Station numbering HK-78 was introduced on 21 December 2013. A 1978 excavation during the construction of the station’s underground passageway uncovered remains of the late-8th-century Nagaoka-kyō capital and earlier strata.

When the station’s underground passageway was being dug in 1978, the excavation turned up remains of the 8th-century capital of Nagaoka-kyō directly beneath the platforms.
