History
Nijōjinjaguchi Station opened on 29 March 1929 as part of the privately built Osaka Railway between Furuichi and Kumedera (today's Kashihara-jingū-mae). Through wartime consolidations the operator became Kansai Express Railway on 1 February 1943 and then Kintetsu on 1 June 1944, and the line was reorganised as today's Minami-Osaka Line. PiTaPa support began on 1 April 2007, and the station was made fully unattended on 21 December 2013. Although express and section-express services usually pass through, selected trains stop here during the peony bloom at the nearby Sekkō-ji temple; until the early 1990s, large numbers of holiday rapid expresses also made special stops during peony season.

Notes
By recent counts, Nijōjinjaguchi has the lowest daily ridership of any station on the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line.
