• JR Hanwa Line: Higashi-Sano ⇄ Hineno

Kumatori Station opened on 16 June 1930 when the Hanwa Electric Railway extended from Izumi-Fuchū to Hanwa-Higashi-Wakayama (today's Wakayama). Absorbed into Nankai's Yamate Line in 1940, the route was nationalised on 1 May 1944. The station was promoted to a rapid-service stop on 1 March 1965, and passed to JR West at the 1987 privatisation. An elevated station building entered service on 5 October 1997 ahead of the National Sports Festival held in Osaka, becoming the Hanwa Line's first barrier-free station. ICOCA service began in November 2003, the Midori-no-Madoguchi closed on 29 February 2020, and a new west traffic plaza opened on 10 December 2022.

Kumatori was the first station on the Hanwa Line to be made barrier-friendly, prompted by the 1997 National Sports Festival held in Osaka Prefecture.
