History

Yamada Station is an interchange between the Hankyu Senri Line and the Osaka Monorail Main Line in Suita, Osaka. The Hankyu side opened on 23 November 1973 between Minami-Senri and Kita-Senri, replacing the role of the temporary Bankokuhaku Nishiguchi Station that had served Expo '70 about 800 m to the north until 1970. The Osaka Monorail station opened roughly 200 m away on 1 June 1990 as part of the line's first segment between Senri-Chūō and Minami-Ibaraki. The combined complex was redeveloped in 2003, when the "Du Hankyu Yamada" shopping mall opened alongside a substantially reconstructed station building. Station numbering HK-94 was introduced on 21 December 2013, and the monorail side gained platform screen doors on 22 February 2020.

Notes

Hankyu and Osaka Monorail historically disagreed on how to pronounce "Yamada": Hankyu used a head-high accent and the monorail used a flat accent. The Hankyu side has since switched to the flat pronunciation in automated announcements.
