• JR Hanwa Line: Izumi-tottori ⇄ Kii

Yamanakadani Station opened on 16 June 1930 when the Hanwa Electric Railway extended its tracks from Izumi-Fuchu through to what is now Wakayama, 45.2 km south of Tennoji. The Hanwa Electric Railway was absorbed into Nankai Railway in December 1940 and then nationalised in May 1944, becoming part of the JNR Hanwa Line. The station was put on simple commission in March 1985; that arrangement was discontinued in 2007, leaving it fully unattended. JNR privatisation in April 1987 transferred control to JR West, and station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with the designation JR-R50. A new station building entered service on 27 April 2022.

Yamanakadani is the southernmost station on the Hanwa Line within Osaka Prefecture, and the 8.1 km gap to the next stop south (Kii, across the Onoyama Pass) is the longest inter-station distance on the line.
