History
Kintetsu-Nippombashi Station is an underground railway station on the Kintetsu Namba Line in Chūō-ku, Osaka, opened together with the rest of the line on 15 March 1970 as the first stop east of the line's western terminus at present-day Ōsaka Namba. Trains of Kintetsu's Nara Line all run through the Namba Line and call here; Ōsaka-Line passengers must change at Ōsaka Uehommachi or Tsuruhashi. The station has two side platforms on the third basement level, with ticket gates on the second basement and an additional "Niji Gate" on the first basement connecting to the Namba Walk underground concourse. Entrances are arranged near those of the connecting Osaka Metro Nippombashi Station on the Sakaisuji and Sennichimae lines.

Notes
Although the surface address is Nippombashi 1-chōme, passenger access at street level runs entirely through the same underground concourse that serves the Osaka Metro's Nippombashi Station, which is why the Kintetsu side keeps the company prefix in its name.
