History
Yoshino-Jingū Station opened on 25 March 1928 on the Yoshino Railway when the line was extended south from Muda to Yoshino. The following year, on 1 August 1929, the Yoshino Railway was absorbed by the Osaka Electric Tramway, and through a wartime sequence of mergers — Sangū Express Railway in 1941 and Nankai Railway in 1944 — the station became part of the Kintetsu Yoshino Line. A timber yard siding opened soon after debut and was removed in January 1973. PiTaPa fare-card service began on 1 April 2007, and the station was destaffed on 6 January 2021.
