• Sakai Line: Babasakichō ⇄ Amariko

Agarimichi Station opened on 1 July 1952 as a new stop between Amariko and Sakaiminato on the JNR Sakai Line. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West. Onboard-type IC gates were introduced on 16 March 2019, enabling ICOCA use; the station itself has no installed gates, fare-collection machines, or station building, and is treated as a halt rather than a conventional station.

Each station on the Sakai Line is given a yōkai (Japanese folklore-spirit) nickname tied to the works of manga artist Shigeru Mizuki, who hailed from Sakaiminato; Agarimichi's nickname is "Ittan-Momen Station" (一反木綿駅), after the flying-cloth yōkai. To distinguish the station from the homonymous Jōtō Station (上道駅, jōtō-eki) on the Sanyō Main Line, certain tickets print this station as "(Sakai) Agarimichi" and the ICOCA usage log records it as "Agarimichi" in katakana.
