History

Tannowa Station opened on 15 August 1906 as a simple stop on the Nankai Railway in what is now Misaki, Sennan District, Osaka Prefecture, and was elevated to a regular station in 1910. Although the Nankai line had been extended past the location in 1898, the station itself was prompted by a 1903 essay on Tannowa's scenery published in the Osaka Asahi Shimbun. The Nankai Railway opened the Tannowa Yūen pleasure gardens in 1911 and a Tannowa–Sumoto sea route in 1912; after the war both roles passed to Misaki Park and Fuke Port. The station passed to Kintetsu in 1944 and to the present Nankai Electric Railway in 1947, and station numbering NK40 was introduced on 1 April 2012. The European-style wooden station building completed in 1925 still stands alongside the Namba-bound platform.

Notes

Local lore credits the 1906 establishment of Tannowa Station to a 1903 newspaper essay by Tensui Nishimura praising the area's coastal scenery in the Osaka Asahi Shimbun.
