History

• History before the Second World War
• Destruction during the Second World War
• History 1984-2007

• The older story is not occupied
• I could not find good sources for 194X to 1984
• The description of the changes in the station based on my eyewitness description, but evidence would be nice

The Osaka station was opened on 11 May 1874 as one of the first stations in the Kinki Region / Kansai at start of operations on the route from Osaka to Kobe. He was electrified with the Tōkaidō Main Line.

After the partial destruction during the Second World War it took until the late 1970s or early 1980s were to the train station rebuilt parts.

In the years 2007 to 2011, the station major reconstruction during operation has been subjected. In this case, an administration building was built directly to the train station and created on the actual station area is a large covered hall. The new administration building offers a new access on the former freight depot site, which had to be crossed by means of a long tunnel on foot before, additional offices on the lower floors; The new hall is clearer designed as partially kinky gear system from before the redesign. The redesign was carried out at running station operation, which secure and protected from construction dirt rushing through enormous crowds through the station entrances made ​​it necessary especially during rush hour. Especially towards Yodobashi Camera Thus an underground tunnel was built by the quasi construction site.
