Namba (Osaka Metro)

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

Namba Station opened 30 October 1935 as the terminus of an extension of Line 1 (now the Midosuji Line) from Shinsaibashi; it became a through-station in 1938 when the line reached Tennoji. A separate stop, Namba-motomachi, opened on Line 3 (now the Yotsubashi Line) in October 1965 and was merged into Namba Station in March 1970, when the Sennichimae Line opened and signage was standardized to the hiragana "namba." The Midosuji Line uses two single-sided platforms added in stages; the Yotsubashi and Sennichimae lines each use one island platform. Operation passed to Osaka Metro in 2018 when the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau was privatized. Today three subway lines serve Namba, connecting to nearby Nankai, Kintetsu, Hanshin, and JR West stations.

The station has 36 exits in total — more than any other Osaka Metro station.
