History

Hakotsukuri Station opened on 22 October 1898 when Nankai Railway extended its line from Ozaki to Wakayama-Kitaguchi (a predecessor of Kinokawa). The station was inherited by Kinki Nippon Railway in the 1944 wartime merger and returned to Nankai Electric Railway on 1 June 1947. On 24 July 1967 a Wakayama-bound express collided with a freight train being shunted in the yard, injuring 126 people, after which freight handling was abolished on 31 July of the same year. A second, sea-side station building opened on 1 March 2007, with the footbridge dismantled and ticket gates fully separated between platforms; station numbering NK39 followed on 1 April 2012.

Notes

On 24 July 1967 an express bound for Wakayama-shi collided with a freight train being shunted in the station yard, injuring 126 people; freight handling at the station was abolished within a week.
