History
Miminashi Station opened on 5 January 1929 on the Osaka Electric Tramway Sakurai Line when the Daiki-Yagi–Sakurai section was completed, in what is now Kashihara, Nara Prefecture. The line merged with the Sangu Express Railway on 15 March 1941, becoming the Kansai Express Railway's Osaka Line, and a further merger on 1 June 1944 transferred operation to Kintetsu. The station was rebuilt below ground in the 1980s and PiTaPa support began on 1 April 2007. From 27 April 2024 the station was returned to ground level as part of a barrier-free reconstruction; the upbound ticket gate followed on 28 September 2024.

Notes
Mount Miminashi, one of the three peaks of the classical Yamato Sanzan trio, rises immediately west of the station and gives the stop its name.
