• Osaka Loop Line: Fukushima (Osaka) ⇄ Nishikujo

Noda Station opened on 5 April 1898 when the Nishinari Railway extended its line between Osaka and Ajikawaguchi. The general-purpose station originally handled both passengers and freight, was nationalised in December 1906, and was reassigned to the new Nishinari Line in 1909. In April 1961 the section east of Nishikujō was absorbed into the Osaka Loop Line, placing Noda on the loop. The station was elevated in March 1964. Freight handling ended in 1984, and the disused branch toward the wholesale-market freight station was closed at the same time. Station numbering JR-O13 was introduced in March 2018, and the station became a JR West Transport Service contracted operation in September 2019.

The departure jingle introduced in March 2015 is the Russian folk song "Nedelka" ("A Week"); it was chosen because the song's lyric "On Sunday I went to the market" references the Osaka Municipal Central Wholesale Market beside the station.
