History
editKita-Itami Station opened on 1 April 1944. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company.
Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Kita-Itami being assigned station number JR-G53.[2][3]
Passenger statistics
editIn fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 5370 passengers daily[4]
Surrounding area
editThe station is located about 600 m north-west from the runway of Osaka International Airport, thus there is a board to notice that it is very hard to tell passengers when trains arrive at the station due to the jet engine sounds of the planes taking off and landing at the airport.
