History
Sayama Station opened on 30 January 1898 as the original terminus of the Kōya Railway. Just over two months later, on 2 April 1898, the line was extended to what is now Kawachi-Nagano and the station became an intermediate stop. Corporate succession took it through the Kōya Tozan Railway (1907), the Osaka Kōya Railway (1915), and the Nankai Railway (1922), with wartime merger into Kintetsu in 1944 and transfer to Nankai Electric Railway in 1947. An overpass station building replaced the original layout on 25 February 1973, the station was made step-free in March 2010, and it became fully unstaffed on 1 April 2013.
