About

Stand at the end of the 3F concourse and watch Hankyu's glossy maroon trains leave for Kyoto, Kobe and Takarazuka in near synchronised departures from ten side-by-side platforms. Hankyu's classic livery, unchanged for a century, wood-grain interiors and green seats make this one of the most photogenic terminals in Japan. Below the station is Hankyu Sanbangai, a 1969 underground arcade, and across the street the Hankyu department store with its famous vaulted mosaic ceiling restored inside.
