After widening the avenue and relocated westward on December 3, 2016, the tram stop is connected from JR West Tennoji Station and Kintetsu Railway Osaka Abenobashi Station via Abeno Pedestrian Bridge and from Osaka Metro Tennoji Station via the underground passage. After the relocation, an elevator became in use to enable wheelchairs and baby buggies to access to the Uemachi Line.[8]

Surrounding area
Since so many train lines meet in one location, Tennōji has become a large transfer station. As a result, the area around the station has become quite built up with may buildings as high as 10 or 12 stories high.
