History
Mozuhachiman Station opened on 7 September 1900 as a seasonal stop called Mozu Station on the Kōya Railway between Ōshōji (today's Sakaihigashi) and Nishimura (today's Hatsushiba), serving the Mozu Hachiman shrine festival each lunar August. Notice of its rename to Mozuhachiman was published in the official gazette on 27 December 1913; year-round operation was instituted at an unrecorded later date. Ownership followed the Kōya Line through Ōsaka Kōya Railway (1915), Nankai Railway (1922), Kinki Nippon Railway (1944) and Nankai Electric Railway (1947). A station-floor footbridge replaced the level crossing on 25 July 1968; in January 2012 a second station building was added on the Kōyasan-bound side, the footbridge was closed, and step-free ramps were installed in March 2012.
