Location
History
Yamada Station is an interchange between the Hankyu Senri Line and the Osaka Monorail Main Line in Suita, Osaka. The Hankyu side opened on 23 November 1973 between Minami-Senri and Kita-Senri, replacing the role of the temporary Bankokuhaku Nishiguchi Station that had served Expo '70 about 800 m to the north until 1970. The Osaka Monorail station opened roughly 200 m away on 1 June 1990 as part of the line's first segment between Senri-Chūō and Minami-Ibaraki. The combined complex was redeveloped in 2003, when the "Du Hankyu Yamada" shopping mall opened alongside a substantially reconstructed station building. Station numbering HK-94 was introduced on 21 December 2013, and the monorail side gained platform screen doors on 22 February 2020.
Notes
Hankyu and Osaka Monorail historically disagreed on how to pronounce "Yamada": Hankyu used a head-high accent and the monorail used a flat accent. The Hankyu side has since switched to the flat pronunciation in automated announcements.
