History
Shinge Station opened on 16 June 1930 as a provisional halt on the Hanwa Electric Railway's extension from Izumi-Fuchū to the old Hanwa Higashi-Wakayama, and was upgraded to a full station on 3 March 1931. After Hanwa Electric merged into Nankai Railway in 1940 and was nationalised in 1944, the station passed to JR West at the 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways. Freight was discontinued in 1962 and parcels in 1972, and station numbering JR-R47 was assigned in March 2018. A second west-side entrance was opened on 15 June 2014, and the Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket office closed on 31 March 2019.
