• JR Hanwa Line: Otori

Higashi-Hagoromo opened on 18 July 1929 as Hanwa-Hamadera, the terminus of a branch of the Hanwa Electric Railway. It became a station of the Nankai Yamate Line when Nankai absorbed Hanwa on 1 December 1940, was renamed Yamanote-Hagoromo on 1 August 1941, and took its present name on 1 May 1944 when wartime nationalisation transferred the line to the Ministry of Transport. The station was elevated on 31 August 1973, and on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR West. A staffed Midori-no-Madoguchi opened in November 1992, automatic gates entered service on 27 May 1998, and ICOCA followed on 1 November 2003. On 24 December 2016 the southern arrival platform was closed for four-car upgrade work, the north platform was lengthened by one car on 17 March 2018, and on 24 August 2019 a connecting concourse to Nankai's Hagoromo Station, nicknamed Tennyo no Komichi (the Celestial Maidens' Path), was completed.

Although the rest of the Hanwa Line was numbered from 2015 onward, the Hagoromo branch (including Higashi-Hagoromo Station) was excluded; even the Hanwa Line's orange route colour does not appear on signs here, and it is the only JR station inside Osaka Prefecture not connected to the line's traffic-management system.
