History
Ozaki opened on 9 November 1897 as the terminus of a Nankai Railway extension from Sano. When the line was pushed on to Wakayama-Kitaguchi (a forerunner of Kinokawa Station) on 22 October 1898, Ozaki became an intermediate stop and developed into the principal station of present-day Hannan City. Wartime amalgamation transferred it to Kintetsu on 1 June 1944, and a postwar route transfer placed it under Nankai Electric Railway on 1 June 1947. An overhead concourse was completed on 11 August 1973, the station became a limited-express stop on 24 March 2001, and station code NK37 was introduced on 1 April 2012. On 4 September 2018 a fire — believed to be linked to Typhoon Jebi — broke out from the station's switchgear and ticket machines and gutted the building; the rebuilt depot reopened on 23 March 2019.
Notes
Ozaki's station building was gutted by fire on 4 September 2018; the blaze was traced to a power-distribution panel and ticket machines in the station, and is presumed to have been connected with Typhoon Jebi (Typhoon No. 21).
