History
Dōmyōji Station opened on 24 March 1898 when the Kayo Railway began service between Kashiwara, Dōmyōji and Furuichi. The line passed to the Kanan Railway in 1899 and the Osaka Railway in 1919 through corporate succession, and an extension to Nunose opened on 18 April 1922 made Dōmyōji a junction. After the 1943 merger with Kansai Express Railway and the 1 June 1944 wartime consolidation, the station joined Kintetsu, today serving the Minami Osaka Line and acting as the terminus of the 2.2-kilometre Dōmyōji Line to Kashiwara. The Minami Osaka Line platforms were extended in March 1994 to take eight-car formations.

Notes
Along with Kashiwara and Furuichi, Dōmyōji is one of the oldest stations in the present Kintetsu network; the original Kashiwara-Furuichi line opened first, and the later westward swing toward Osaka Abenobashi explains the tight curve north of the platforms.
