Location
History
Ōtori Station opened on 18 July 1929 on the Hanwa Electric Railway, at the junction where the Main Line met the branch to Hanwa-Hamadera (now Higashi-Hagoromo). The Hanwa Electric Railway was absorbed into Nankai Railway in December 1940 and the Hanwa Line was nationalised on 1 May 1944, with the station passing to JR West at JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. The current overpass-style station building was completed on 12 December 1985 at a cost of 600 million yen, the Kuroshio limited express began stopping in November 1986 (a stop withdrawn in March 2010), and ICOCA service started on 1 November 2003. Station numbering JR-R33 was introduced on 17 March 2018, when a fifth platform face was extended to take four-car Hagoromo Line trains.
Notes
Ōtori is the only station on the Hanwa Line whose name is written with a single kanji.
