History
Gakumon Station opened on 10 August 1979 as an infill stop on the Kishū Railway Line, near the site of the earlier Chūgakumae Station, which had operated between 15 June 1931 and 8 December 1941 before being closed and demolished. The new station was named after Wakayama Prefectural Hidaka High School, whose back gate adjoins the platform. Gakumon consists of a single side platform along the line, with a shelter and an entrance at the Gobō end. It has no station building or toilet, and is unstaffed.

Notes
Because the name evokes the word 'study,' the adjacent Kii-Gobō Station sells admission tickets and ticket-shaped keychains for Gakumon as good-luck charms for students sitting examinations.
