Location
History
Tamatsukuri Station opened on 28 May 1895 as the terminus of the privately built Osaka Railway's first segment from Tennōji. The line was extended westward to Umeda that October, making the station a through stop, and it passed through Kansai Railway control to nationalisation in 1907, then to JR West at privatisation on 1 April 1987. The elevated structure dates from 29 March 1932, and on 25 April 1961 the Jōtō Line was reorganised as the Osaka Loop Line. A subway station on the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line opened 11 December 1996 with the Kyōbashi-Shinsaibashi extension, providing transfer to the modern Osaka Metro network.
Notes
The Osaka Metro level is themed around the magatama curved bead, with wall artwork depicting "a journey in time" that traces motifs from the ancient Naniwa-no-miya palace.
