History
Kohama Station opened on 21 April 1917 as a station on Nankai Railway's Main Line in what is now Sumiyoshi-ku, Osaka. Through the wartime consolidation it became a Kinki Nippon Railway station on 1 June 1944 and then a Nankai Electric Railway station on 1 June 1947 when the line was transferred to the newly formed operator. The outer two tracks were elevated on 10 April 1977 and full grade separation followed on 15 June 1980. Station numbering NK07 was introduced on 1 April 2012, and station-staff operations ended on 1 April 2013, making Kohama an unstaffed stop. The station has four tracks in two island platforms but only the inner two are used by passenger trains; the outer pair is fenced off as a non-stopping through line.
