History
Kii-Hosokawa Station opened on 18 June 1928 as Hosokawa Station, when the Kōyasan Electric Railway extended its line between Kōyashita and present-day Kii-Kamiya. It was renamed Kii-Hosokawa on 1 March 1930 and passed to the Nankai Electric Railway on 15 March 1947 with the corporate merger. The station and several other Kōya Line stops were designated Modern Industrial Heritage in 2009 as part of the Kōyasan pilgrimage route. Station numbering NK84 was introduced in April 2012, and the station was made unstaffed on 10 October 2023. Set at an elevation of 363 m, it has two side platforms on a slope, connected by an internal level crossing.
