• Osaka Loop Line: Taisho (Osaka) ⇄ Imamiya

Ashiharabashi Station opened on 1 April 1966 on the Osaka Loop Line in Naniwa-ku, Osaka, replacing the role of the soon-to-close Osaka City Tram stop of the same name. The Sakaigawa Signal Station–Imamiya stretch of today's Loop Line had opened in 1928 as a Kansai Main Line freight branch, the Osaka Rinkō Line, and was converted to passenger use in 1961, but no station was built between Taishō and Shin-Imamiya until the impending abolition of the tram prompted one. JR West took over in 1987. Automatic ticket gates were installed in 1997 and ICOCA was introduced in November 2003. The station was Japan's first to install an elevator for disabled passengers, and is a directly operated station managed by Shin-Imamiya.

Ashiharabashi was the first railway station in Japan to install an elevator for use by wheelchair passengers, and its departure melody is the local taiko troupe "Ikari"'s composition "Matsuri".
