History
The station opened on 15 April 1910 as Kōri Station the day the Keihan Main Line began service, on a site that Keihan was simultaneously developing as an amusement park. The park was relocated to Hirakata in 1912 to become today's Hirakata Park, and in 1920s Keihan turned the surrounding land into a planned residential district known as the Kōrien Estate. The station was renamed Kōrien on 1 April 1938. It became a corporate property of Keihanshin Express on 1 October 1943 and reverted to Keihan Electric Railway on 1 December 1949 when the companies were separated. The first elevated station building in the Keihan network opened in May 1963, was rebuilt on 12 January 1988, and was further refreshed on 26 May 2004.

Notes
Each Keihan passenger train except the cable cars carries a charm from Naritasan Fudōson, the temple that Keihan invited to set up an Osaka branch in the "demon gate" direction along its line.
