Location

History

Sakuragawa Station opened on 16 April 1969 as the terminus of the Osaka Municipal Subway Line 5 (today's Sennichimae Line) at the time of the extension from Noda-Hanshin. On 11 March 1970 the line was extended east to Tanimachi 9-chōme and the station became an intermediate stop. Station numbering (S15) was introduced on 1 July 2004 and platform-edge doors entered service on 25 October 2014. The municipal operator was privatised as Osaka Metro on 1 April 2018. A separate Hanshin Railway platform (HS 42) opened on 20 March 2009 when the Hanshin Namba Line was extended from Nishikujō to Ōsaka-Namba, and Hanshin station numbering followed on 1 April 2014.

Notes

Between Ōsaka-Namba and Sakuragawa, train protection on the Hanshin Namba Line uses Kintetsu's specification and operations are controlled by Kintetsu's KOSMOS system; Hanshin and Kintetsu crews therefore change over at Sakuragawa.
