• Kisei Line: Miyamae ⇄ Kuroe

Kimiidera Station opened on 28 February 1924 when the Kisei West Line was extended from Wakayama Station (today Kiwa Station) via Higashi-Wakayama (now Wakayama) to Minoshima. It was incorporated into the Kisei Main Line on 15 July 1959 once that route opened end-to-end. Freight handling ended on 1 November 1982, and at the 1 April 1987 privatisation the stop came under JR West. The present overhead station building entered service on 1 September 2004, an east entrance was added on 22 March 2021, and rapid trains began stopping in March 2013. Automatic ticket gates were activated on 22 August 2015 and ICOCA usage began eight days later. The adjacent stations on the Kinokuni Line are Kuroe and Miyamae; on rapid services the next stop towards the north is Wakayama.

Until the 2004 rebuild the station had a combined side-and-island layout with two platforms and three tracks, its middle track (track 2) barely used; the rebuild removed track 3 and reassigned track 2 to Wakayama-bound services.
