History
Temmabashi Station opened on 15 April 1910 as the Osaka-side terminus of the Keihan Electric Railway Main Line. A new station building and freight handling followed on 10 July 1914. Through wartime corporate consolidation the station became part of Keihanshin Kyūkō Electric Railway on 1 October 1943, then reverted to Keihan Electric Railway on 1 December 1949 when the companies were separated. Freight handling ended on 25 June 1955. On 16 April 1963 the Keihan station was moved underground with the Yodoyabashi extension and became an intermediate station rather than a terminus, and the Keihan Temmabashi Underground Centre opened the same day. On 24 March 1967 an Osaka Municipal Subway Tanimachi Line station also opened here. The Keihan section between the former Gamō Signal Station and Temmabashi was quadruple-tracked on 1 November 1970, automatic ticket gates were added on 17 May 1975, and air conditioning of the Keihan station was completed on 31 May 1996. To accommodate the Nakanoshima Line branching off here, the platform allocation was reorganised on 16 April 2006: the southern two tracks took over Yodoyabashi service, while the northern two tracks were used for terminus turnbacks until the Nakanoshima Line opened on 19 October 2008, after which they served Nakanoshima trains. On 1 April 2018, when the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau was privatised, the Tanimachi Line station passed to Osaka Metro. Platform screen doors began service on the Tanimachi Line section on 13 December 2024.
Notes
From 1933 to 1945 a department store, the Keihan Department Store's Temmabashi branch, stood at the station, but the station burned down in the air raids of June 1945 and was rebuilt after the war. After the 1963 move underground, the station building housed a Matsuzakaya department store until 5 May 2004; on its site, Keihan opened its own Keihan City Mall on 27 May 2005, with tenants including the electronics retailer EDION. The stone marker on platform 4 reading "先覚志茲成" ("The aspirations of pioneers are realised here") was originally mounted above the portal of the underground tunnel and was relocated to the platform when the OMM Building was completed.
