History

Takaishi began life on 13 April 1901 as the simplified Kuzunoha halt between Hamadera (now Hamadera-kōen) and Ōtsu (now Izumi-Ōtsu) on the Nankai Railway, and was upgraded to a full station on 1 June 1906. It was renamed Takaishichō in August 1941 and took its present name in December 1966 when the town of Takaishi was incorporated as a city. Wartime amalgamation transferred the station to Kintetsu in June 1944, and a postwar route transfer placed it under Nankai Electric Railway in June 1947. The station was rebuilt with an overhead concourse on 1 April 1969 and received station code NK17 on 1 April 2012. The down platform was elevated on 14 May 2016 and the up platform on 22 May 2021, prompting the recorded distance from Namba to be adjusted from 17.4 km to 17.3 km.

Notes

The station's original name, Kuzunoha, came from the nearby Shinodanomori Kuzunoha Inari Shrine.
