• Naruto Line: Konpiramae ⇄ Tatsumichi

Kyōkaimae Station opened on 1 January 1924 as the Tenrikyōmae stop (天理教前停留場) on the privately operated Awa Electric Railway (later Awa Railway), in what is today the city of Naruto, Tokushima Prefecture. The stop was renamed Kyōkaimae in 1926. Following the 1 July 1933 nationalisation of the Awa Railway, Japanese Government Railways upgraded the stop to a full station and operated it as part of the Awa Line; on 20 March 1935 it was reassigned to the Muya Line, later renamed the Naruto Line in 1956. With the 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation the station passed to JR Shikoku as station N07. The single side platform is shelterless apart from a small canopy.

The station name preserves a 1924-era Tenrikyō religious destination: the original "Tenrikyōmae" ('in front of Tenrikyō') was shortened to the generic "Kyōkaimae" ('in front of the church') in 1926, but the still-extant Tenrikyō Muya Daikyōkai remains the building the name actually refers to.
