History
Ōsaka-Kyōikudai-mae Station opened on 6 December 1991, sandwiched between Kawachi-Kokubu and Sekiya on Kintetsu's Osaka Line, to serve Osaka Kyoiku University after the university relocated its campus here. Because the chosen site lay on landslide-prone ground beside the river along a series of sharp curves, Kintetsu built the new Tamateyama Tunnel to replace the old one and realign the track simultaneously; track switchover began on 16 October 1992 with the upbound side, and downbound trains followed on 28 October. Construction and curve improvements cost approximately 6.03 billion yen. PiTaPa acceptance began on 1 April 2007. This is the only Kintetsu Osaka Line station whose name ends in "-mae".
