Nishinakajima-Minamigata

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

Nishinakajima-Minamigata Station opened on 24 September 1964 with the Osaka Municipal Subway's Midōsuji Line extension between Umeda and Shin-Ōsaka. With Osaka City's transit privatisation on 1 April 2018 it passed to Osaka Metro, and platform screen doors entered service on 23 January 2021. Carrying station number M14, it sits between Shin-Ōsaka and Nakatsu and is unique among the elevated Midōsuji Line stations in having opposed side platforms rather than an island platform — a result of the project being separated from the parallel Route 423 (Shin-Midōsuji) construction. The station also serves as an interchange with Hankyu's Minamikata Station on the Kyoto Main Line.

Said to be the first station name in Osaka formed by combining two place-names, it joins the broader-area name "Nishinakajima" with the locality name "Minamikata" — and notably reads the latter voiced, as "minamigata", where Hankyu's neighbouring Minamikata Station keeps the unvoiced reading.
