Location

History

Yoshino opened on 25 March 1928 as the terminus of the Yoshino Railway's extension from Muda. The line passed to the Osaka Electric Tramway on 1 August 1929, then to the Kansai Express Railway (formed from a merger with Sangū Express) on 15 March 1941, and finally to Kintetsu when Kansai Express merged with the Nankai Railway on 1 June 1944. PiTaPa contactless ticketing entered service on 1 April 2007. The station became unstaffed on 1 October 2021.

Notes

The station's shrine-style building has been in use since the station opened in 1928, and Yoshino is one of the Kinki region's Top 100 Stations; on Kintetsu's limited expresses the in-cabin arrival and departure chime here is the folk tune "Sakura Sakura".
