History
Kisaichi Station opened on 10 July 1929 as the terminus of the Shigi-Ikoma Electric Railway's Hirakata Line, in what is now Katano, Osaka Prefecture. Ownership passed to Kōno Denki Tetsudō in May 1939, to Keihanshin Kyūkō Denki Tetsudō in May 1945, and to the present Keihan Electric Railway in December 1949 when Keihan separated from Hankyu. A new station building entered service on 13 October 1979, and the line south of Kisaichi to Mori signal station was doubled in September 1992 with a further building refresh. The station was named one of the "100 Stations of Kinki" in 2002. Today it operates two opposed ground-level side platforms terminating against buffer stops, and is the line's southern terminus as station KH67.

Notes
The name 私市 is one of Japan's notoriously hard-to-read station names — pronounced "Kisaichi" rather than the apparent "Watashi-Ichi" — and the railway promotes a Tanabata-themed pairing of the names of two former limited-express services that once terminated here.
