History
[edit]Tsukaguchi Station opened on 6 March 1894 on the Settsu Railway (which merged into Hankaku Railway in 1897, was nationalized as part of Japanese National Railways in 1907, and was renamed from the Hankaku Line to the Fukuchiyama Line in 1912). The JNR Amagasakiko Line was discontinued on 1 February 1984. 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 Tsukaguchi being assigned station number JR-G50.[2][3]
