• Kintetsu Kashihara Line: Kasanui ⇄ Yamato-Yagi

Ninokuchi Station opened on 21 March 1923 as a stop on the Osaka Electric Tramway Unebi Line — today's Kintetsu Kashihara Line — in what is now Kashihara, Nara Prefecture. The line merged with the Sangu Express Railway on 15 March 1941, transferring the station to the Kansai Express Railway, and a further merger with the Nankai Electric Railway on 1 June 1944 brought it under Kintetsu. A connecting track to the Osaka Line at Yamato-Yagi was completed on 20 December 1967, allowing through running of Kyoto-Ise limited expresses. The underground station building was finished on 29 April 2003, and PiTaPa support began on 1 April 2007.

Despite carrying only local services, the station's location anchors the Ninokuchi connecting track — the curve that lets Kyoto-bound Kintetsu limited expresses cross from the Kashihara Line to the Osaka Line without reversing.
