History

Railway extensions to Yumeshima were planned first back when Osaka was bidding as a host city for the 2008 Summer Olympics, in which Yumeshima was intended to have an Olympic village. However, the extension was cancelled after the bid failed, with only the Yumesaki Tunnel being completed before the construction was stopped.

After Osaka was picked to host the Expo 2025 in 2018, Hirofumi Yoshimura, the mayor of Osaka at the time announced that the Osaka Metro Chūō Line will be extended to Yumeshima.

The station is currently being constructed by Obayashi Corporation, Kumagai Gumi, Tokyu Construction [ja], and Toyo Construction [ja]. The station is scheduled to open on January 19, 2025.

Details

Yumeshima Station will be the new terminus of the Osaka Metro Chūō Line, located 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) away from the adjacent Cosmosquare Station, located northeast of the planned Expo 2025 site. The station will be operated by Osaka Metro using infrastructure owned by Osaka Port Transport System [ja].

The design was revealed on April 27, 2022. The station is being built underground on the island of Yumeshima, with the first basement floor being the concourse and the second floor being the station platform. Line-shaped lights will be placed in the center of the platform. Platform screen doors are planned to be installed in the platform. The platform will have an estimated length of 160 meters, and will be 10 meters wide.
