Location

History

Yoshinoguchi Station opened on 10 May 1896 as Kuzu Station, the original terminus of the Nanwa Railway. Renamed Yoshinoguchi on 15 May 1903, it passed through the Kansai Railway (1904) and was nationalised in 1907, joining the newly named Wakayama Line in 1909. The Yoshino Light Railway, predecessor of today's Kintetsu Yoshino Line, began service on 25 October 1912, making Yoshinoguchi a junction. The Yoshino Light Railway was built to JNR gauge specifically to allow timber freight interchange here. JR West and Kintetsu have jointly used the station since the 1987 privatisation; the original Meiji-era wooden building still stands.

Notes

Because the Yoshino Light Railway was built to JNR gauge so that timber freight could be interchanged here, the Kintetsu Yoshino Line takes a detour west through Gose city instead of running a more direct route between Tsubosakayama and Shimoichiguchi.
