History
The Temmabashi to Kiyomizu-Gojo section opened as dual track, electrified at 1,500 V DC, in 1910, and was extended to Sanjo in 1915. The Temmabashi to Yodoyabashi section opened in 1963.

The section between Kōrien Station and Hirakata-kōen Station is set to undergo a grade separation process beginning in September 2022. Preliminary works such as land acquisition had already been in progress since 2013. The project aims to eliminate 21 level crossings in the affected section, some of which are closed for up to 40 minutes per hour during the morning and afternoon rush hour. Work is expected to finish by 2027 with the transition to the elevated tracks happening by 2028.
