History
Settsu-Tonda Station opened on 25 July 1924 on the JNR Tōkaidō Main Line between Takatsuki and Ibaraki. The current overhead station building was completed on 1 July 1970. Freight handling, including service to a private siding for the Matsushita Electric Industrial Takatsuki plant, ended on 1 August 1975. JR West succeeded the station at the 1 April 1987 privatisation, and the JR Kyoto Line nickname was introduced in March 1988. Automatic ticket gates were installed on 6 July 1997, ICOCA support was added on 1 November 2003, and the station was given numbering JR-A39 on 17 March 2018, the same day the neighbouring JR Sōjiji Station opened toward Osaka.
Notes
A side gate at the eastern end of the platform, called the Matsushita-guchi, is an exit-only gate: it is used by Panasonic and Meiji employees on weekday mornings and, on weekends and holidays, by passengers heading for the special nonstop buses to Shinnyo-en; at all other times it is closed.
