Sakaisuji-Hommachi Station (堺筋本町駅, Sakaisuji-Honmachi-eki) is a railway station on two lines of the Osaka Metro in Chūō-ku, Osaka, Japan.

Lines

Sakaisuji-Hommachi Station is served by the following two Osaka Metro lines:

• Sakaisuji Line (K15)
• Chūō Line (C17)

Layout

The station has two side platforms serving two tracks for the Sakaisuji Line on the second basement, between the third and fourth buildings of Semba Center Building, and an island platform serving two tracks for the Chuo Line under the Sakaisuji Line. The platform for the Chuo Line is about 40 m wide because it is located under the second basement floor of Semba Center Building.

"Semba-higashi (船場東)" has been shown on the station signs since October 2011 to revive the traditional "Semba Brand" in the center of the city of Osaka. "Semba-nishi (船場西)" is shown on the station signs at adjacent Hommachi Station.^[citation needed]
