History
Tawaramoto Station opened on 21 March 1923 on the Osaka Electric Tramway Unebi Line, the present Kintetsu Kashihara Line, when the line was extended from Hirahata to Kashiharajingū-mae. On 15 March 1941, following the merger of the Osaka Electric Tramway with the Sangu Express Electric Railway, the line became part of the Kansai Express Railway. A further merger with the Nankai Railway on 1 June 1944 created the Kintetsu Railway, and the stop was renamed Kinki Nippon Tawaramoto Station before reverting to its present name in 1964. The original Tawaramoto Station on the parallel Tawaramoto Line was simultaneously renamed Nishi-Tawaramoto to remove the duplication.

Notes
Tawaramoto and Nishi-Tawaramoto are separate stations on different Kintetsu lines; a 1960s plan to consolidate them into a single relocated station was abandoned after local opposition.
