History
Goidō Station opened on 1 July 1927 when the Osaka Electric Tramway Yagi Line (the present Kintetsu Osaka Line) was extended between Onji and Takada (now Yamato-Takada). Through wartime consolidations the operator became Kansai Express Railway in March 1941 and then Kintetsu in June 1944. A passing loop was added in January 1963, the present elevated concourse opened on 21 September 1987 alongside the addition of section-rapid-express and express stops, and rapid express trains began stopping here on 22 March 2001. PiTaPa support began on 1 April 2007. From 14 March 2026 selected morning and evening Hanshin-Ise B-class limited expresses are scheduled to add the station to their call list.

Notes
The station sits in the Kawaraguchi district rather than the Goidō district that gives it its name; the exact reasoning for the choice was lost in early Kintetsu records, leaving only the documented debate between the two place names.
