History
Tanagawa Station opened on 1 June 1944 under Kinki Nippon Railway, as the western terminus of what is now the Nankai Electric Railway Tanagawa Line. The line was transferred to Nankai on 1 June 1947, taking the station with it. The station was destaffed on 10 October 2023. Tanagawa sits 2.6 km from Misaki-koen at the opposing end of the line, with the designation NK41-3. It has a stub-end island platform with two faces, of which only the south face remains in use; the north track was abandoned when through-service to the Awaji-Island ferries was withdrawn and the line was later singled. The station building stands at the western, bumper-stop end of the platform.
