History

Awaji Station opened on 1 April 1921 with the Kitaōsaka Electric Railway's Jūsō–Toyotsu section. Through a series of corporate moves it became a Shin-Keihan Railway station on 1 April 1923, a Keihan Electric Railway station on 15 September 1930, and, with the 1 October 1943 wartime merger, a station of Keihanshin Kyūkō Electric Railway (today's Hankyu Railway). The 1 December 1949 corporate split kept Awaji within Hankyu, where the line-naming reform of 18 February 1959 placed the Awaji–Tenjinbashi (now Tenjinbashisuji-rokuchōme) section onto the Senriyama Line — renamed the Senri Line on 1 March 1967 — and the former Jūsō Line section onto the Kyoto Main Line. Mutual through-running with the Osaka Municipal Subway Sakaisuji Line began on 6 December 1969. Awaji became a tokkyū stop on 17 March 2007, and the elevation works that will eliminate the present at-grade crossing of the Kyoto and Senri lines were started in September 2008.

Notes

Awaji is the only Hankyu station where the male announcer (Mitsuo Katayama) handles the outside main-line tracks (Tracks 2 and 5) while the female announcer (Yumi Maruko) handles the inside passing tracks (Tracks 3 and 4) — the opposite of the line-wide assignment, because the platform is narrow and trains often arrive on both sides simultaneously. The elevation project that will separate the crossing lines began construction in 2008 and was originally expected to be finished in 2017; the target slipped to 2024 and then to 2027, and in 2022 Osaka City estimated that it would not be completed until 2031 owing to land-acquisition delays and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the project's cost rising as a result.
