History
Tachibana Station opened on 20 July 1934 on the Tōkaidō Main Line — today branded the JR Kobe Line — in the city of Amagasaki, Hyōgo Prefecture. With the breakup of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, operation passed to the West Japan Railway Company. The station consists of two ground-level island platforms serving four tracks, but only the inner pair are used in regular service: local trains stop on the inner tracks while limited expresses, freight trains, and weekday-morning rapid services pass through on the outer tracks behind simple fences. Station numbering JR-A50 was introduced in March 2018.
