Kandai-mae

History

Kandai-mae Station was created on 10 April 1964 in Suita, Osaka Prefecture, through the consolidation of two closely spaced predecessor stations on the Hankyu Senri Line — Kadanchō (the former Kadan-mae, opened 1921) and Daigaku-mae (opened 1922) — at a point roughly midway between the old sites. The earlier Kadan-mae had served the Senriyama Hanadan amusement-park resort and changed names repeatedly between 1938 and 1951 as its purpose shifted; the post-war redevelopment of the resort site into the Kansai University Daiichi school complex anchored the new merged station to the university it now serves. The Senriyama Line was renamed the Senri Line on 1 March 1967, and station number HK-91 was assigned in December 2013.

Notes

Daily boardings outpace those of every other Senri Line station and even exceed those at the Kyoto Main Line's limited-express stop at Nagaoka-tenjin, despite Kandai-mae being a side-line station.
