Rinkū-town Station opened on 15 June 1994, simultaneously with the JR Kansai Airport Line and the Nankai Airport Line, as a joint station for the two operators. Between this station and Kansai Airport Station the two carriers both run as Class-II railway operators over track owned by the Class-III operator New Kansai International Airport Company. Unlike at Kansai Airport, here the fare gates and concourse are shared, with an IC-card transfer terminal inside the paid area. ICOCA began on 1 November 2003, PiTaPa on 1 July 2006. Service was suspended from 4 September 2018 due to typhoon damage to the airport access bridge; partial service to this station resumed on 8 September and full operation on 18 September.

Rinkū-town is the only Nankai station with no kanji in its name, and as of 2026 it is the only station where Nankai and JR West passengers can transfer without leaving the paid area.
