History

The station was opened on December 27, 1890 on the Osaka Railway between Nara and Ōji. The Osaka Railway was nationalized in 1907 and the line was renamed the Kansai Main Line in 1909. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of West Japan Railway Company (JR West). Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Kōriyama being assigned station number JR-Q34.[2][3]

Passenger statistics

The average daily passenger traffic in fiscal 2020 was 4220 passengers.[4]

Surrounding area

The surrounding area is dominated by many apartment buildings and public housing. The traditional exit to the city center is on the west side of the station, but the east side has been redeveloped and a shopping mall is now open.
