History
Amagatsuji Station was opened 1 April 1921 as a station on the Osaka Electric Tramway Unebi Line (now the Kashihara Line). The station became a Kansai Express Railway station due to a company merger with Sangu Express Railway in 1941, which became part of the Kintetsu Railway network in 1944. The station was rebuilt as an underground station in 2000.
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 2,516 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[http://www.pref.nara.jp/dd.aspx?menuid=6437 Nara Prefecture Statistical Yearbook]
