History
Sakaishi Station opened on February 2, 1932, as the Sakaishi Stop (堺市停留場, Sakaishi Teiryujo), also known as the Hanwa-Sakaishi Stop (阪和堺停留場, Hanwa-Sakaishi Teiryujo). It was renamed the Sakai-Kanaoka Stop (堺金岡停留場場, Sakai-Kanaoka Teiryujo) on August 1, 1941, and to Kanaoka Station (金岡駅, Kanaoka eki) on May 1, 1944. It became Sakaishi Station on May 1, 1965. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company.
Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Sakaishi being assigned station number JR-R28.[1][2]
