History
Sakakibara-Onsenguchi Station opened on November 19, 1930 as Sada Station (佐田駅, Sada-eki) on the Sangu Express Electric Railway. After merging with Osaka Electric Kido on March 15, 1941, the line became the Kansai Express Railway's Osaka Line. This line was merged with the Nankai Electric Railway on June 1, 1944 to form Kintetsu. The station name was changed to its present name on March 1, 1965. On December 18, 1973, due to failure of an ATS system, a runaway train derailed in the Aoyama Tunnel near this station, with 25 fatalities.
