Location

History

Yodogawa Station opened on 12 April 1905 with the Hanshin Main Line, in Fukushima Ward, Ōsaka, on the south bank of the Yodogawa River — despite the name, it does not lie in Yodogawa Ward, which is on the north bank. A platform-centre elevator linking the concourse with the platforms was installed in March 2008, and station numbering was introduced on 1 April 2014. The elevated station has two opposed four-car platforms reached from a single ticket gate at street level; part of the Yodogawa bridge that carried the line before it was elevated is displayed within the concourse as a decorative feature.

Notes

Unlike the Hanshin Main Line stations east of Amagasaki, whose passenger numbers fell sharply after the JR Tōzai Line opened, Yodogawa has held its 1991 peak — the year Hanshin's ridership was at its maximum — almost intact, falling by only about five percent in the decades since.
