Ryokuchi-koen

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

Ryokuchi-kōen Station was planned with the rest of the Kita-Osaka Kyuko Namboku Line, but because the surrounding area was undeveloped when the line opened in 1970, the platforms and underground passage were built and left unused. As land-readjustment work progressed, Toyonaka requested the station's opening in January 1972, ground was broken in March 1974, and Ryokuchi-kōen entered service on 30 March 1975 as an infill station between Momoyamadai and Esaka. Automatic ticket gates were installed in August 1984, platforms were lengthened for nine-car formations in 1987, an elevator was added in March 2004, and platform-edge doors entered service in February 2018.

Ryokuchi-kōen was a "future station" baked into the line's engineering: platforms and connecting passages were built when the Namboku Line opened in 1970, but the gates and surface buildings didn't come until residential development caught up five years later.
