History

Daifuku Station opened on 5 January 1929 on the Osaka Electric Tramway Sakurai Line when the Daiki-Yagi–Sakurai section was completed, in what is now Sakurai, Nara Prefecture. The line was renamed the Osaka Line on 15 March 1941 after the parent company merged with the Sangu Express Railway, transferring operation to the Kansai Express Railway, and a further merger with the Nankai Electric Railway on 1 June 1944 placed it under Kintetsu. The station building was rebuilt below ground on 26 December 1990, PiTaPa support began on 1 April 2007, and the station became unstaffed throughout the day from 21 December 2013.

Notes

Because "daifuku" reads as "great fortune," the station has issued New Year commemorative platform tickets, joint platform-ticket sets with Fukugami Station on the Yoshino Line, and in 2014 a limited-edition "Shifuku" ("utmost happiness") ticket co-branded with the Yukimi Daifuku snack and the manga 3-gatsu no Lion.
