Nagahoribashi Station, metro station in Osaka, Osaka prefecture, Japan
Nagahoribashi Station is an underground rail stop in Osaka's Chūō-ku district that connects two Osaka Metro lines: the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line and the Sakaisuji Line. The station features stairs, escalators, and elevators linking underground platforms to street level, along with clean restrooms and coin lockers for passengers.
The station opened in 1969 on its first line and expanded service with a second line in 1996. This development was part of Osaka's broader efforts to improve public transportation and connect important neighborhoods across the city.
The station takes its name from nearby Nagahori Street, with "bashi" meaning bridge in Japanese and reflecting this area's role as a historic crossing point. Today, commuters and visitors use it as a hub to reach the popular Shinsaibashi shopping district and experience the rhythm of central Osaka's daily life.
The station operates from early morning until midnight daily and displays clear signage in both Japanese and English. Visitors can purchase tickets at machines or use IC cards such as ICOCA or PiTaPa for convenient travel throughout the city.
Directly connected to the station is the Crysta Nagahori shopping mall, a large underground shopping area with over 100 shops, cafes, and restaurants. This center allows visitors to browse, dine, and relax in a climate-controlled environment while natural light filters in from skylights above.
