History
Ashiharachō Station was first established on 15 November 1912 as a temporary halt on the Kōya Tozan Railway between Shiomibashi and Kizugawa, then upgraded to a regular station on 21 October 1914. It passed to Osaka Kōya Railway in April 1915, to Nankai Railway through a 1922 merger, to Kintetsu in 1944, and to the newly independent Nankai Electric Railway in 1947 when the line was transferred back. The station was fully de-staffed on 16 October 2005 with the introduction of remote management, and its ticket vending machine was removed in February 2025.
Notes
Around the line's 1915 reincorporation, the station appointed a female stationmaster — a notable rarity in early-twentieth-century Japanese railway operations.
