History
Nodahanshin Station opened on 16 April 1969 when the Osaka Municipal Subway extended its Line 5 (today the Sennichimae Line) from this station to Sakuragawa. The station is the western terminus of the Sennichimae Line and sits in Daikai 1-chōme, Fukushima-ku, Osaka; its name literally means 'Hanshin Railway Noda Station,' a reference inherited from an earlier municipal streetcar stop. Platform screen doors entered service on 13 December 2014. With the municipal subway's privatisation on 1 April 2018 it became part of Osaka Metro. The north and south ticket gates were closed on 26 March 2020 in favour of a new central west gate.

Notes
The 2-platform structure means platform 2 is used only by arriving trains that head off to the depot, so it has no platform screen doors and still carries a 1970s-era 'whisker font' station name sign reading 'NODA-HANSHIN.'
