History
Takatsuki-shi Station opened on 16 January 1928 as Takatsuki-machi Station, the temporary terminus of Shin-Keihan Railway's extension from Awaji, and lost terminus status when the line reached Kyoto Saiin on 1 November the same year. The operator passed to Keihan Electric Railway in 1930 and to Keihan-Shinkyū Express Railway (today's Hankyu) in 1943, when the host town's promotion to city status produced the present name on 1 January 1943. The continuous grade-separation project that elevated the station to its present four-track, two-island layout ran from 1981 to 1994. The station became a stop for all scheduled trains on 2 March 1997, and station number HK-72 was assigned on 21 December 2013.

Notes
Takatsuki-shi is the eastern limit for Osaka Metro Sakaisuji Line rolling stock running onto the Hankyū Kyoto Line through-service — Metro trains continuing further east toward Kyoto are run exclusively with Hankyū equipment.
