Osaka extension plan

Extension of JR Sakurajima Line

The JR Sakurajima Line is a 4.1km line connecting Nishikujo Station to Sakurajima Station. Known as the access line to Universal Studios Japan, it is also called the "JR Yumesaki Line."

 

The planned extension of the JR Sakurajima Line is about 6 km from Sakurajima Station to Maishima Station to Yumeshima Station. According to the 2014 report on the technical study of railroad access to Yumeshima, the area west of Universal City Station will be underground, and Sakurajima Station will be underground. It is a route that goes northwest to Maishima on an underground route and then turns southwest to reach Yumeshima.

Naniwasuji Line

The JR Naniwasuji Line is a new railway line that runs from Kita-Umeda Station in Osaka City to JR Namba Station and Nankai Shin-Imamiya Station. Jointly operated by JR and Nankai. Commercialization was decided in 2017, and it is scheduled to open in the spring of 2031.

 

The Naniwasuji Line is a railway line that is planned to be built under Naniwasuji in Osaka City. A subway line connecting Shin-Osaka Station with JR Namba Station and Nankai Shiomibashi Station has been under consideration, but on May 23, 2017, it will connect Kita-Umeda Station (tentative name) with JR Namba Station and Nankai Shin-Imamiya Station. As a plan, it was decided that JR and Nankai would be commercialized. The route starts from Kita-Umeda Station, which is under construction in the basement of Osaka Station North District (Umekita), and proceeds southwest toward Naniwa-suji with an underground structure, and enters the basement of Naniwa-suji near Fukushima Station on the JR Osaka Loop Line. After that, while maintaining the underground structure, go south on Naniwasuji, branch off at the south of Chuo Odori where Nishihonmachi Station is located, and divide into two directions, connecting to JR Namba Station and Nankai Shin-Imamiya Station.

Extension of the Osaka Metro Chuo Line

The Osaka Metro Chuo Line is a route that connects 17.9km from Cosmosquare Station to Nagata Station. Also known as Subway Line 4. Since the Osaka Port-Bentencho section opened in 1961, it has been extended repeatedly. In 2005, the OTS Technoport Line section between Osaka Port and Cosmo Square was incorporated to complete the current line. There are plans to extend this line further by about 3km to Yumeshima.

 

The distance between Cosmo Square and Yumeshima is 3km, and there is no station along the way as it passes through the undersea tunnel "Yumesaki Tunnel". Yumesaki Tunnel is completed. Yumeshima Station has a structure with a large atrium, and plans call for two-sided, two-track platforms. A tower building will be constructed as the station building. Scheduled to open in 2024.

Extension of the Keihan Nakanoshima Line

There are plans to extend further from Nakanoshima to Kujo, Nishikujo, and Shin-Sakurajima.

 

The Keihan Nakanoshima Line is a relatively new underground line that opened in October 2008. There was a plan to extend from Nakanoshima to the west before the opening, and in 2004, Kinki Local Transportation Council Report No. 8 called it "a new route that constitutes a railway network desired in the medium term" from Nakanoshima Station via Nishikujo Station. A plan to extend to Shin-Sakurajima and Yumeshima is shown.

 

If you transfer between the Naniwasuji Line and the Nakanoshima Line, which connects at Nakanoshima Station, you can go to sightseeing spots along the Keihan Line, such as Uji and Fushimi Inari, with a single transfer from Kansai Airport. In addition, it is expected to be used especially by foreign tourists, as access to Koyasan from the Kyoto area will be convenient.
