History
Sambommatsuguchi Station opened on 1 November 1987 as one of five new stations infilled on the Sakai Line between Gotō and Kawasakiguchi — the first batch of new stations on JR West following the JNR breakup that April. A boarding-certificate issuing machine was installed in early March 1993, and onboard IC card gates enabled ICOCA service on 16 March 2019. The station consists of a single side platform on the left of the bidirectional track facing Sakaiminato, served by a small roofed waiting shelter rather than a full station building. The exit lies next to a level crossing on the Sakaiminato side, with a ticket machine in the small structure preceding it.

Notes
Each Sakai Line station has a yōkai nickname; Sambommatsuguchi's is Sodehiki-kozō Station, after a folk demon that tugs at travellers' sleeves at twilight.
