Nakamozu Station (中百舌鳥駅, Nakamozu-eki) is the name of two adjacent railway stations located in Kita-ku, Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. The above ground station is an interchange station operated jointly by the private Nankai Electric Railway and the Semboku Rapid Railway, and the underground station is operated by the Osaka Metro. The name of the station is difficult to read in kanji. The subway station shows the name in hiragana (なかもず) for information, but uses kanji for the official station name. The Semboku Rapid Railway Line uses both kanji and hiragana (中もず) on the destination signs at the stations and on the destination displays on the trains.

Lines[edit]

Nakamozu Station is served by the Nankai Koya Line, and is 14.1 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Shiomibashi and 13.4 kilometers from Nanba.
