History
Shijōnawate Station opened on 22 August 1895 on what is now the Katamachi Line (branded the Gakkentoshi Line) under West Japan Railway Company. The station has two ground-level island platforms connected by an elevated station building and retains a staffed Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket office. Despite the name, the station is not located in Shijōnawate City but just across the municipal boundary in Daitō, Osaka Prefecture. Station numbering JR-H34 was added in March 2018. It is 39.8 km from the Katamachi Line's starting point at Kizu.

Notes
Although the station bears the name Shijōnawate, it actually stands on the Daitō side of the city boundary — a quirk that has prompted decades of debate over local naming.
