Nakatsu Station (中津駅, Nakatsu-eki) is a railway station in Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan on the Hankyu Kobe Line and the Hankyu Takarazuka Line, and is operated by Hankyu Railway. While situated relatively close to the station of the same name on the Midosuji Line, there are no free transfers between the two stations. In past, there was a car stop on the Hanshin Railway Kita-Osaka Line in the west side of this station on the Hankyu Railway lines.

Layout[edit]

The station consists of four tracks and two island platforms, each serving one line. Trains of the Kyoto Line run alongside the Kobe Line and the Takarazuka Line, but do not stop at Nakatsu. Officially the tracks for Kyoto Line are treated as express tracks for Takarazuka Line.

The Kyoto Line services do not stop at this station because of the absence of any platforms on this line.
