Furuichi Station (Osaka) opened on 24 March 1898 as the terminus of the Kayō Railway's Kashiwara - Dōmyōji - Furuichi section, becoming a through-station three weeks later on 14 April when the line was extended to Tondabayashi. Operations passed to Kanan Railway on 11 May 1899, to the renamed Osaka Railway on 8 March 1919, and on 29 March 1929 Furuichi became a junction when the section to Kumedera (now Kashihara-Jingū-mae) opened. Through wartime mergers the station joined Kansai Express Railway on 1 February 1943 and Kintetsu on 1 June 1944. In October 1969 it was relocated about 200 m towards Ōsaka-Abenobashi (from south of the Furuichi No. 1 crossing to its north side) and rebuilt with an overhead station building. Season-ticket automatic gates were installed on 1 April 1971, platforms were lengthened to accept eight-car trains on 17 March 1993, PiTaPa service began on 1 April 2007, and selected limited expresses started calling here from the 20 March 2012 timetable revision.

South of the station the Nagano Line branches and runs due south, while the Minami-Osaka main line swings sharply east, a layout that exists because the original 1898 line ran Kashiwara - Dōmyōji - Furuichi - Tondabayashi and the route towards Nara was added later, redefining which arm was the "main" line. Furuichi is also among the oldest stations in the modern Kintetsu network, alongside Kashiwara and Dōmyōji.
