Location
History
The current Tenjimbashisuji 6-chome Station opened underground when the Osaka Metro Sakaisuji Line began through services with the Hankyu Senri Line, replacing the older Hankyu Tenjinbashi Station that had stood on the site since 15 October 1925. The original station opened as the Osaka terminus of the Shinkeihan Railway and was celebrated as one of the Kansai region's first elevated stations; the seven-storey 1926 building, modelled on a Pacific Electric station in the United States, was renowned as a forerunner of the terminal station building in Japan. The Hankyu building above the subway survived until demolition in 2010 to make way for the Geo Tower Tenroku residential high-rise.
Notes
During construction of the Tanimachi Line on 8 April 1970 a gas leak ignited at this site, killing 79 people, injuring 420, and destroying 495 buildings.
