Location

History

Dempō Station opened on 20 January 1924 on the Hanshin Electric Railway Dempō Line — then a brand-new branch between Daimotsu and what is today Dempō. For its first seven months the station served as the terminus until the line was extended to Chidoribashi on 1 August 1924. The line was renamed the Nishi-Osaka Line in 1964 and again as the Hanshin Namba Line in March 2009, by which time the platforms had been extended to handle six-car trains. Station numbering HS47 was introduced on 1 April 2014. The current ground-level station, built on an embankment, is scheduled to be replaced by an elevated structure: the downbound platform in fiscal 2026 and the upbound platform in fiscal 2029.

Notes

For its first eight decades the station's romanised signage read "DENPO," but during a January–February 2009 sign replacement Hanshin adopted the spelling "Dempō."
