History
Kawachi-Kosaka Station opened on 30 April 1914 as Kosaka Station (小阪駅) when the Osaka Electric Tramway began service between present-day Ōsaka Uehommachi and Nara. The station was renamed Daiki Kosaka Station (大軌小阪駅) in August 1928 and given its present name Kawachi-Kosaka on 15 March 1941, when Sangū Express Electric Railway and the Osaka Electric Tramway merged to form Kansai Kyūkō Railway. Operation passed to Kintetsu on 1 June 1944 with the further merger of Kansai Kyūkō and Nankai Electric Railway. The current elevated station has two opposed side platforms with a ground-level station building beneath, and sits 1.6 rail kilometres east of the Nara Line's nominal origin at Fuse and 7.7 kilometres from Ōsaka Namba.

Notes
The surrounding district is the home campus of Kindai University (Kinki University), and the station's area also hosts the Shiba Ryotaro Memorial Hall — built next to the home of the historical novelist's family — which sits within easy walking distance of the south exit.
