History
Murano Station opened on 10 July 1929 as part of the inaugural Shigi-Ikoma Electric Railway Hirakata Line. After successive corporate transfers, the line came under the Katano Electric Railway in 1939, then the Keihanshin Kyūkō Railway in 1945, and finally the present Keihan Electric Railway on 1 December 1949. The station was rebuilt on 5 April 1969 with an underground passageway replacing the former platform-level crossing. Double-tracking was extended from Murano to Miyanosaka on 6 June 1971 and to Katano-shi on 2 April 1972, ending the station's role as a passing point. An accessibility lift entered service on 17 November 2014, and a multi-purpose toilet followed on 20 February 2015. The station, numbered KH63 on the Keihan Katano Line, has two opposing side platforms.

Notes
For years a dedicated ticket gate for Tokai University Osaka Gyōsei High School and Junior High students operated alongside the main gate; it now functions only as an exit-only general gate.
