• JR Osaka Higashi Line: Minami-Suita ⇄ Shirokitakoendori

JR-Awaji Station opened on 16 March 2019 with the completion of the Osaka Higashi Line. The working name during planning was simply "Awaji"; on 24 July 2018 the railway settled on "JR-Awaji" to set it apart from the nearby Hankyu Awaji Station 300 metres south. It is the only JR station in Osaka's Higashiyodogawa Ward. From the timetable revision of 18 March 2023, the new Chokutsū-Kaisoku through-rapid services began stopping here. The elevated station has two opposed side platforms long enough for eight-car trains; its accent colour is pink and the design draws on Sugawara no Michizane and the Awaji area. Operation is contracted out under Shin-Osaka Station, with unstaffed periods bridged by a remote call-centre via interphones.

Since fiscal 2021 it has been the busiest stand-alone stop on the Osaka Higashi Line — that is, the busiest of those that do not interchange with another rail line — overtaking JR-Kawachi-Eiwa.
