History
Haibara Station opened on 21 February 1930 as part of the Sangu Express Railway in what is now the city of Uda, Nara Prefecture. On 15 March 1941 the line passed to the Kansai Express Railway following its merger with the Osaka Electric Tramway, becoming part of the Osaka Line, and a further merger with the Nankai Electric Railway on 1 June 1944 placed the station under Kintetsu. The building was reconstructed in an overhead style on 23 November 1975, and on 6 March 2003 the station was added to the limited-express stopping pattern. It serves as the principal station of Uda City.

Notes
Although the overhead-station rebuild renumbered the platforms, track 5 became a dead-end turnaround line on the Nabari side, leaving the platforms ordered 5–1–2–3–4 from north to south rather than running consecutively.
