History
Amami Station opened on 11 March 1915 in what is now Kawachinagano, Osaka Prefecture, when the Kōya Tozan Railway extended its line between Mikkaichi-chō and Hashimoto. The railway was rebranded as the Ōsaka Kōya Railway later that year, merged into the Nankai Railway in 1922, and absorbed into Kinki Nippon Railway in 1944. Following a 1947 transfer the station joined the present-day Nankai Electric Railway Kōya Line. The station has two opposed side platforms connected by an underground passage. In 1979 the Kimitōge - Amami section was double-tracked, and station numbering NK73 was introduced on 1 April 2012.
