Notes
Yoshita Station is read 'Yoshita' (not 'Yoshida'), and carries the subtitle 'Naka Jinbei-no-Hi mae' (the stele commemorating Naka Jinbei, a local Edo-period figure). It is one of the closer stations to Higashi-Osaka City Hanazono Rugby Ground - venue for the high-school rugby championships - but at over 1 km away, it is farther than Kintetsu Nara Line's Higashi-Hanazono Station, whose own subtitle is 'Hanazono Rugby Ground mae'. The station has two side platforms on an elevated viaduct under the Hanshin Expressway, with concourse on level 2 and platforms on level 3. The two ticket gates are direction-separated, so there is no within-gate transfer between platforms.
