History

Shitennōji-mae Yūhigaoka Station opened on 17 December 1968 as Shitennōji-mae Station when the Osaka Municipal Subway Line 2 (today's Tanimachi Line) extended south from Tanimachi-yonchōme to Tennōji. Although the planned name before opening had been Yūhigaoka Station, residents near Shitennōji petitioned to change it two months before opening; subsequently a second group of residents secured an additional "(Yūhigaoka)" parenthetical alongside the name. The bracket was formalised into the full name on 29 August 1997. The station passed to Osaka Metro on 1 April 2018 with the privatisation of the municipal subway, and movable platform doors began service on 3 April 2025.

Notes

The station has the longest name on the Osaka Metro network, both in written characters and in its kana reading.
