History
Nishisansō Station opened on 23 March 1975 on the Keihan Main Line in the city of Kadoma, Osaka Prefecture, replacing the older Kadoma station that had stood roughly 200 metres to the east since 1910. The station was created as part of the continuous grade-separation and quadruple-tracking project from Moriguchi to Neyagawa signalbox, begun in November 1972. Down-line elevation work in October 1974 had briefly opened it under the old Kadoma name; the up-line elevation and renaming followed in March 1975, and the full quadruple-track section came into service that September. Beneath the elevated structure, the L-Nishisansō shopping arcade opened in October 1979. Station number KH12 was added on 21 December 2013.

Notes
Until around 2000, on-board announcements named the stop "Nishisansō - Matsushita-mae" to flag the adjacent Panasonic (Matsushita) headquarters.
