History
Koshibe Station opened on 1927-07-01 as a station of the Yoshino Railway in what is now the town of Ōyodo in Yoshino District, Nara Prefecture. The Yoshino Railway merged with the Osaka Electric Tramway on 1929-08-01; that company joined with the Sangu Express Railway in 1941 to form the Kansai Express Railway, which in turn merged with the Nankai Railway in 1944 to form Kintetsu Railway. The line then became the Kintetsu Yoshino Line, which still serves the station. Koshibe is 18.7 km from the line's start at Kashiharajingū-mae and 58.4 km from Ōsaka Abenobashi. It is a ground-level station with two opposed side platforms; the Koshibe River runs beneath the platforms before merging with the Yoshino River just south of the station.
