Kintetsu Gose

History

Kintetsu Gose Station opened on 9 December 1930 in present-day Gose, Nara Prefecture, as Nanwa-Gosemachi Station on the Nanwa Electric Railway. A 1 April 1944 corporate merger transferred it to Kansai Express Railway as Kankyū Gose; a further wartime merger on 1 June 1944 produced Kintetsu Railway, and the station became Kinki Nippon Gose. It received its present name on 1 March 1970. PiTaPa support began on 1 April 2007, and the station became fully unstaffed at an unspecified date after 1 October 2021. Station number P26. Two opposed side platforms each accommodate four-car trains, and a turnback siding behind the buffers is a holdover from now-abandoned plans to extend the line via Gojō toward the Goshin Line.

Notes

JR West's Gose Station sits about a five-minute walk to the east, making this one of relatively few Nara cases where Kintetsu and JR offer parallel access under near-identical station names.
