Jūsō Station, Railway station in Yodogawa-ku, Japan.
Jūsō is a railway station in Yodogawa-ku, Japan, linking three major Hankyu lines. The ground-level area includes six tracks that are accessed via elevated and underground passages connecting island and side platforms.
Operations began on March 10, 1910, under the Minoo-Arima Railway, which at the time connected several suburbs. The Kobe Line extension followed in 1920, turning the facility into a junction in western Osaka.
The surrounding alleys are known for small eateries where visitors taste traditional dishes like okonomiyaki or takoyaki in a neighborhood setting. The area carries the feel of an old trading district along the Yodo, where office workers and neighbors gather at counters after work.
Platforms are reached via stairs and escalators, with underground passages leading to exits on different streets. Trains run regularly throughout the day at short intervals, so connections are usually possible without long waits.
The name comes from its position as the thirteenth stop along the old river route between Kyoto and Osaka Bay. This historical counting reflects the former importance of the Yodo as a trade route, along which settlements developed.
