History
Ujiyamada Station was opened as the terminal station of the Sangu Kyuko Electric Railway on March 17, 1931.[2] On March 15, 1941, the line merged with Osaka Electric Railway to become a station on Kansai Kyuko Railway's Yamada Line. [3] This line in turn was merged with the Nankai Electric Railway on June 1, 1944 to form Kintetsu.[3] Services to Nagoya began on January 20, 1920, and the line was extended from Ujiyamada to Isuzugawa Station on December 15, 1969. [3] In 2001, the station building was named a Registered Tangible Cultural Properties by the national government.[4]
