History
Haginochaya Station opened on 20 December 1907 on the Nankai Railway between today's Imamiyaebisu and Tengachaya stations. The lines through here were elevated as part of the East Line works completed on 10 September 1938. Wartime consolidation transferred the station to Kintetsu in June 1944 before the modern Nankai Electric Railway took over in June 1947. Since the abolition of Main Line local services on 23 November 1970, only Kōya Line locals stop here. The station is named for a former teahouse on the Sumiyoshi Road that planted red and white bush clover (hagi), and it sits 600 m from Shin-Imamiya.

Notes
Although there is no Hagi-no-chaya tea house left today, the original was a branch of a teahouse 1 km north at Hirota Shrine that planted red and white bush clover—and the station took its name from the branch.
