• Nankai Koya Line: Sumiyoshihigashi ⇄ Abikomae

Sawanochō Station opened on 15 February 1942 as a station on Nankai Railway's Koya Line between Sumiyoshi-Higashi and Abikomae. Through the wartime industry reorganisation it became a Kinki Nippon Railway station on 1 June 1944 and then a Nankai Electric Railway station on 1 June 1947 when the line was transferred to the newly formed operator. A fire on 5 May 2007 burned part of the station. Station numbering NK53 was introduced on 1 April 2012. The station has two side platforms each with its own ticket gate; in-station crossover between platforms is not possible, and the gates are unstaffed, with intercom contact to staff at Sumiyoshi-Higashi Station available for assistance.

Both ends of each platform are bracketed by level crossings, so the usable length is exactly six cars — any longer train would block the crossings.
