History

Hagiharatenjin Station opened on 10 October 1912 on the Kōya Tozan Railway (later the Nankai Kōya Line) between Nishimura (today's Hatsushiba) and Sayama. Operator changes followed the Kōya Line — Ōsaka Kōya Railway (1915), Nankai Railway (1922), Kinki Nippon Railway during the wartime merger of 1944, and Nankai Electric Railway from 1 June 1947. On 4 September 1944 a Namba-bound local that had overshot the platform reversed into the station and collided with a following express, leaving five dead and both trains badly damaged. The level crossing was replaced by a footbridge on 5 August 1968. Platform heights were raised in 2008 and lifts installed in 2009; station numbering NK62 followed on 1 April 2012.

Notes

Locally the station is affectionately abbreviated to "Hagiten" (萩天) — a contraction so universally adopted that it shows up on Nankai Bus stop names in the area.
