Location

History

Komagawa-Nakano Station opened on 27 November 1980 when the Osaka Municipal Subway Tanimachi Line was extended between Tennōji and Yaominami. The working name during construction was Komagawa Station. A Lawson convenience store opened on the station's west-gate concourse on 28 March 2017. With the privatisation of the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau on 1 April 2018, the station passed to Osaka Metro. An east gate, IC-card-only and stairs-only, was added on 1 April 2019 — at which point the original gate was renamed the west gate. Escalators were renovated between 28 September and 7 December 2020. Platform screen doors are scheduled to enter service on 16 January 2026.

Notes

The station name was chosen because the new subway station was located on the site between the former Nankai Hirano Line stops Komagawa-chō and Nakano — combining the two now-defunct tram-stop names. The station is unusual for a subway station in that both ticket gates and the concourse are above ground rather than underground: the station building is two storeys above ground level and stands entirely within the elevated structure of the Hanshin Expressway Route 14, with the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line crossing the west gate area on its own elevated viaduct.
