History
Tsurumi-ryokuchi Station opened on 20 March 1990 as the eastern terminus of the Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line (today the Osaka Metro Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line). The line was built to provide access to Tsurumi-ryokuchi Park, which hosted the International Garden and Greenery Exposition (Expo '90) later that year. The station lost its terminal status on 29 August 1997, when the line was extended onward to Kadoma-minami. On 1 April 2018 the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau was privatised and the station became part of Osaka Metro. A single island platform serves two tracks underground, with platform-edge doors in use since 10 February 2011.
