The 2nd basement functions as the ticket gate area and the 5th basement contains an island platform serving two tracks. Approximately 160 thousand bricks are used for the wall of the platform and tracks because there was formerly an Osaka Gas factory near this station which was made out of bricks.[1] The passage to ÆON Mall Osaka Dome City is located in front of the ticket gates.
