History
Muda Station opened on 25 October 1912 as the original Yoshino Station, the terminus of the newly-built Yoshino Light Railway running south from Yoshinoguchi. When the line was extended further south to a new Yoshino Station on 25 March 1928, the original Yoshino Station was renamed Muda. The Yoshino Railway was absorbed by the Osaka Electric Tramway on 1 August 1929, by the Kansai Express Railway in 1941, and finally by Kintetsu in June 1944. The Muda train depot occupies the site of the former Yoshino terminus; the old platform can still be seen behind the depot building.
