Location
History
Tonoki Station opened on 1 March 1940 on the Hanwa Electric Railway between Ōtori and what is now Kita-Shinoda, conceived as the access point for the company's Tonoki residential development. The Hanwa Electric Railway was absorbed by Nankai in December 1940 and was wartime-nationalised on 1 May 1944, becoming part of the Hanwa Line under the Ministry of Transport and Communications. The station passed to JR West with the 1987 privatisation of JNR. A west exit and a converted underground free passage opened on 1 May 2011, and station numbering JR-R34 was introduced in March 2018.
Notes
The station's name derives from the former ōaza (district) of "Tonoki," but many long-standing local residents pronounce it with a voiced sound, as "Tonogi," and this discrepancy from the official reading is well known in the area.
