There will be 4 stations on Naniwasuji Line

Naniwasuji Line is the proposed rail line that will connect Umeda and Namba, both of which are the most flourishing area in Osaka city.
The total length of the line is estimated to be 7.4km, and 4 stations will be built on the line by the year of 2031. After completion of the line, trains will be able to run from Umeda to KIX(Kansai International Airport) with 40 mins, which is shorter than current 1 hour. The stations names are
Kita-Umeda,
Nakanoshima,
Nishi-Hommachi,
JR Namba/Nankai Shin-Namba(the line branches to JR Line and Nankai Line at the southern point of Nishi-Hommachi)

Those station names are still tentative.
