History


Takatsuki Station opened when the railway between Osaka and Kyoto started provisional operation between Osaka Station and Mukōmachi Station on 28 July 1876. Since the railway was first built with single track, the location of Takatsuki Station in the middle of Osaka and Kyoto was suitable for trains of both directions to cross each other.
Station numbering was introduced to the station in March 2018 with Takatsuki being assigned station number JR-A38.




Passenger statistics


In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 64,879 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).




Surrounding area
