• Nankai Main Line: Sakai ⇄ Ishizugawa

Minato Station opened on 1 October 1897 when the Nankai Railway extended its line from Sakai to Sano (now Izumi-Sano), and takes its name from the village of Minato in Senboku District, where it then stood. Wartime company mergers transferred the station to Kintetsu on 1 June 1944, and a postwar route transfer placed it under Nankai Electric Railway on 1 June 1947. The upbound (Namba-direction) tracks were elevated on 3 July 1983, with full grade separation completed on 7 May 1985. The station code NK12 was introduced on 1 April 2012. The station also appears in verse 59 of the fifth Railway Song collection, composed in 1900.
