It is one of the main train stations of the city along with Takatsuki Station on the JR Kyoto Line.

Lines

All types of train services on the line stop at Takatsuki-shi as one of key stations along the line. Many trains from Osaka, especially those from the Sakaisuji Line, terminate at Takatsuki-shi.

History

The station opened on January 16, 1928, and served as the terminal of the Shin-Keihan Line until its extension to Kyoto in November 1928. The station name was originally Takatsuki-machi[1] (meaning Takatsuki Town) and was changed to the present one in 1943 when the town obtained the city status.[2]

The construction of the elevated station replacing the original ground-level station was completed in 1994.[2]
