History
Hasedera Station opened on 27 October 1929 with the simultaneous opening of the Sangū Express Railway's Sakurai–Hasedera section. The Sangū Express Railway extended from Hasedera to Haibara on 21 February 1930. On 15 March 1941 the company merged with the Osaka Electric Tramway, becoming Kansai Express Railway, and on 1 June 1944 Kansai Express merged with Nankai Railway to form Kintetsu (Kinki Nippon Railway). PiTaPa use began on 1 April 2007. The station was added to the express stopping pattern on 17 March 2018, and became fully unstaffed at an unspecified date after 1 October 2021.

Notes
Hasedera is a ground-level station with two opposing side platforms (six-car effective length); the slope of the site puts the north-side station building roughly one floor below the platforms, with stairs to each. From below it resembles an embankment-mounted elevated station. A crossover at the Nabari end allows turn-back operation in disruptions; there is also a siding and the remains of an unused former platform on the north side of the outbound tracks. Hasedera is unattended and is managed from Haibara Station; in the daytime four "section expresses" per hour (running as locals between Sakurai and Aoyamachō) call here.
