is a name shared by two railway stations in the Namba district of Chūō-ku, Osaka, Japan. One is owned by Nankai Electric Railway, while the other is by the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau. The names of both stations are written in hiragana on signage within the stations, because the kanji "難波" can be also read "Naniwa". However, the name of both stations officially employs kanji, printed on train tickets.They are close to JR Namba Station and Ōsaka Namba Station.LinesNankai Electric Railway (NK01)Nankai Main LineNankai Koya LineMidōsuji Line (M20)Sennichimae Line (S16)Yotsubashi Line (Y15) Connecting StationsŌsaka Namba Station (renamed from Kintetsu Namba Station in 2009)Kintetsu Namba LineHanshin Namba LineKansai Main Line (Yamatoji Line)
