History
Yodoyabashi Station opened on 20 May 1933 as a subway station on the original Osaka Municipal Subway Line 1 (now the Midōsuji Line) between provisional Umeda and Shinsaibashi. Thirty years later, on 16 April 1963, Keihan Electric Railway opened its own Yodoyabashi station as the new western terminus of the Keihan Main Line, extending the line underground from Temmabashi to connect directly with the Midōsuji Line. The Keihan Yodoyabashi Building was completed later that year. Following the 2018 privatisation of Osaka City Transportation Bureau, the subway portion became part of Osaka Metro. A platform-screen-door system entered service on the Midōsuji platforms in October 2021, with a station renovation completed in April 2025.

Notes
Yodoyabashi is closer to Osaka City Hall than any other rail stop, but the Keihan operator officially directs riders to its newer Ōebashi Station on the Nakanoshima Line because Ōebashi is even closer to the hall by a few dozen metres.
