History
Kishi Station opened on 14 April 1898 on the Kayō Railway's Furuichi–Tondabayashi extension, in what is now Tondabayashi, Osaka Prefecture. The line passed to the Kanan Railway in 1899 and to the Osaka Railway in 1919. The station was renamed Taishiguchi Station on 1 January 1919, then Taishiguchi-Kishi Station three weeks later on 25 January, before reverting to Kishi on 1 April 1933. Through wartime mergers it became a Kintetsu Nagano Line station in 1944. The line south to Furuichi was double-tracked in October 1957, and the section north to Tondabayashi followed on 25 October 1987.
