History
Tsuruhara Station opened on 15 May 1916 on what is now the Nankai Main Line, in present-day Izumisano, Osaka Prefecture. The privately operated Nankai Electric Railway carries the station number NK28, with Tsuruhara sitting 31.3 km south of Namba. Two opposed side platforms are linked by an underground passage, and the surroundings are dominated by Izumisano City's Kitanaka Elementary School. Aside from incremental station-numbering and accessibility updates, the basic configuration has changed little since the line's prewar Hanwa-coast build-out, and Tsuruhara remains a low-volume residential stop with about 1,700 daily passengers in fiscal 2019.
