Toyotsu (Osaka)

History

Toyotsu Station opened on 1 April 1921 as the terminus of the Kita-Osaka Electric Railway, on the same day the Jūsō–Toyotsu section was inaugurated, in Tarumi-chō 1-chōme, Suita, Osaka. The station name comes from the then-municipality Toyotsu-mura in Toyono County. On 26 October 1921 the line was extended onward to Senriyama, and Toyotsu became intermediate. On 1 April 1923 the line was transferred to Shin-Keihan Railway, on 15 September 1930 it passed to the Keihan Electric Railway's Senriyama Line through corporate merger, and on 1 October 1943 it became part of Keihanshin Express Electric Railway (renamed Hankyu Railway in 1973). On 1 March 1967 the Senriyama Line was renamed the Senri Line and the station was reassigned to it. Station numbering (HK-90) was introduced on 21 December 2013.

Notes

Although the station's name derives from the former Toyotsu-mura, the present "Toyotsu-chō" name still attached to land on the west side of Esaka Station is more than 1.5 kilometres away from Toyotsu Station itself.
