History

Takayasu Station opened on 30 September 1925 when the Osaka Electric Tramway Yagi Line was extended from Yao to Onji, in what is now the city of Yao, Osaka Prefecture. A turn-back siding was added in April 1931. The line passed to Kansai Express Railway in March 1941 and then to Kintetsu Railway through wartime consolidation on 1 June 1944. An overpass station building entered service on 20 March 1961, a notably early example of an elevated-concourse layout among private railways. The station now has two island platforms serving four ground-level tracks and acts as a turn-back hub for Kintetsu Osaka Line locals and section-express services, with platforms lengthened to ten cars in March 1995.

Notes

The pointed-roofed shed at the adjacent Takayasu workshop, built in 1930, is the oldest surviving piece of station infrastructure on the entire Kintetsu network.
