History
Kaminotaishi Station opened on 29 March 1929 as a stop on the privately built Osaka Railway between Furuichi and Kumedera (today's Kashihara-jingū-mae). Two weeks after opening, on 14 April 1929, a runaway Deni-500 series electric car rolled back from a grade towards Futagamiyama Station and collided with two other trains inside the station, producing a triple-collision accident. The operator became Kansai Express Railway on 1 February 1943 and then Kintetsu on 1 June 1944 through wartime consolidations. A new south-side station building was added when the Nankanna Road (南阪奈道路) opened in 2004, and PiTaPa support began on 1 April 2007.
