JR West

As of 2010, Kyobashi was the fourth busiest station in the JR West network after Osaka Station, Kyoto Station and Tennoji Station.

The station was built in 1895 as part of the Osaka Railway (now Osaka Loop Line) extension from Tennoji to Umeda (now Osaka Station). The Katamachi Line station was opened in 1912.

During the bombing of Osaka on August 14, 1945, a one-ton bomb directly struck the Katamachi Line platform and killed 700 to 800 evacuees. Kyobashi was one of the last sites to be bombed in Japan during World War II, followed only by the bombing of Akita, later the same day. A memorial was erected on the site in 1947, and anniversary services have been held at the station every year since 1955.
