• Nishi-Shigi Cable: Takayasuyama

Shigisanguchi Station opened on 15 December 1930 as the meeting point of the Osaka Electric Tramway Shigi Line and the Shigisan Electric Railway cable line that climbed to Takayasuyama. Wartime consolidations brought the station under Kansai Express Railway in 1941 and Kintetsu Railway in 1944, with the cable line suspended in January 1944 as a non-essential route. The station was briefly renamed Higashi-Takayasu between July 1948 and March 1957, when the cable line reopened as the Nishi-Shigi Cable Line and the original name was restored. Today it is a staffed Kintetsu interchange between the Shigi Line (J14) and the Nishi-Shigi Cable Line (Z14).

The original 1928 plan for the Shigi Line called for a route through Shigisanguchi all the way to Hiraoka Station; only the section as far as Shigisanguchi was ever built, and the remaining permit was abandoned in 1937.
