Goten-yama

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Goten-yama Station opened on 25 May 1929 on the Keihan Main Line between Hirakata-higashiguchi (today's Hirakata-shi) and Makino, established to serve the Osaka Art School which relocated to the area from Tennōji shortly afterward. At the time the section near the station ran on shared road right-of-way along the Keihan National Highway (today's Kyōto–Moriguchi prefectural route); the line was separated and given exclusive right-of-way in July 1931. The station was moved to its present site on 29 September 1934 following typhoon damage. An underground passage replacing the level crossing inside the precinct opened on 20 April 1969, and a permanent ticket gate on the Kyoto-bound platform was completed in March 2010, completing the station's barrier-free upgrade.

The station is named after a small hill east of the line, which received the name "Gotenyama" (Palace Mountain) after Nagai Naotsune established a feudal residence there in 1658.
