History
Kōya Station opened on 30 March 2008 when the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation inaugurated the elevated Nippori-Toneri Liner automated guideway line. The station has a single island platform serving two tracks. Station numbering was introduced in November 2017 with the station receiving NT07. The 'Kōya' name does not correspond to a current address — it survives from the historic Adachi County Kōya Village, recorded as 'Adachi-ku Kōya-chō' until that name was phased out on 30 September 1976.

Notes
Although written 高野 the station is read 'Kōya', not 'Takano' or 'Takeno' as one might guess — Adachi's now-extinct Kōya Village preserved the old reading well enough for it to attach itself to the 21st-century station.
