History
Kawachi-Eiwa Station opened on 1 August 1936 as Hitonomichi Station (人ノ道駅) on the Osaka Electric Tramway (Daiki), serving a religious movement whose Higashi-Ōsaka headquarters lay nearby. The station was closed on 22 April 1937 and reopened as Daiki Eiwa Station (大軌永和駅) on 1 February 1938. Successor operator Kansai Kyūkō Railway took over the line in 1941, when the stop was given its present name Kawachi-Eiwa, and the operation passed to Kintetsu when Kansai Kyūkō merged with Nankai Electric Railway in 1944. The station consists of two opposed elevated side platforms with the station building underneath, located 0.8 km from the Nara Line's nominal starting point at Fuse and 6.9 km from Ōsaka Namba.

Notes
Kawachi-Eiwa sits perpendicular to JR West's separately named JR-Kawachi-Eiwa Station on the Osaka Higashi Line, but the two are not directly connected and passengers transferring between them must walk between street-level entrances.
