History

Kawachi-Hanazono Station opened on June 15, 1915 as Hanazono Station (花園駅) on the Osaka Electric Tramway. It was renamed Daiki Hanazono Station (大軌花園駅) in December 1932. In 1941 it was transferred to the Kansai Kyūkō Railway, which became part of Kintetsu in 1944. On March 31, 1948 because of a brake failure of an express train for Uehommachi in the Ikoma tunnel, the train crashed with a local train at this station, killing 49.
