Location
History
Shirokitakōendōri Station opened on 16 March 2019 in Asahi-ku, Osaka, as an intermediate stop on West Japan Railway Company's Osaka Higashi Line, entering service when the line opened throughout. It is the only JR station in Asahi-ku and was built on the site of the former Miyakojima signal post, which had served the single-track Jōtō freight line from 1 October 1943 until its abolition on 1 October 1984. The working name during construction was "Miyakojima Station", but local residents campaigned for a different name on the grounds that the Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line already had a Miyakojima Station 1.6 km away in a different ward; JR West formally adopted "Shirokitakōendōri" on 24 July 2018. The 16 March 2024 timetable revision added Direct Rapid services as a regular stop.
Notes
The station's design concept is "a Yodogawa ferry boat", a nod to the historic ferry crossings of the nearby Yodo River.
