# Nakamozu Station

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.
