History
Imazato Station opened on 25 July 1969 as the terminus of the Osaka Municipal Subway's Line 5 (now the Sennichimae Line) when the section from Tanimachi 9-chōme reached this point. On 10 September of the same year the line was extended onward to Shin-Fukae, making Imazato a through-station. The Imazatosuji Line opened on 24 December 2006, with Imazato as its southern terminus and an interchange with the Sennichimae Line. Platform-edge doors entered service on the Sennichimae platforms on 19 July 2014. The station passed to Osaka Metro on 1 April 2018 when the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau was corporatised.

Notes
Despite sharing the "Imazato" name and a parent-town heritage, the Osaka Metro Imazato Station and Kintetsu's Imazato Station on the Osaka Line are roughly 800 metres apart and have no direct interchange.
