## History

[edit]

The station opened on 21 March 1925 as Yagi Station (八木駅) on the Osaka Electric Tramway Unebi Line (now the Kashihara Line). The platform at that time was located at the current location of Yagi-nishiguchi Station. The Osaka Electric Tramway Yagi Line (now the Osaka Line) joined to the station on 21 March 1925. [3] The station was renamed Daiki Yagi Station (大軌八木駅) in August 1928. The station was relocated on 5 January 1929 to its present location. It became a Kansai Express Railway station due to a company merger with Sangu Express Railway on 15 March 1941, and was renamed to its present name. Through a subsequent merger it became a station on the Kintetsu Railway on 1 July 1944.

## Passenger statistics

[edit]

In fiscal 2019 the station was used by an average of 18,621 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[4]
