• Kintetsu Nara Line: Wakae-Iwata ⇄ Higashi-Hanazono

Kawachi-Hanazono Station opened on 15 June 1915 as Hanazono Station (花園駅) on the Osaka Electric Tramway. The name was changed to Daiki Hanazono Station (大軌花園駅) in December 1932, and again to its present form on 15 March 1941 when the operator merged with Sangū Express to form Kansai Express Railway. The station passed to Kintetsu on 1 June 1944 through a further corporate merger. In July 1966 the station was moved 200 m east toward Nara. Elevation of the line was completed in two stages — the down line on 30 May 2010 and the up line on 21 September 2014 — leaving the present elevated, two side-platform layout.

On 31 March 1948 a brake failure on a westbound express in the Ikoma Tunnel caused the train to run away and crash into a preceding service at this station, killing 49 people. A memorial Jizō statue stands today by the west-side bus stop.
