As its name (literally "bridge end") suggests, Hashimoto Station is located at an end of a former bridge (Yamazaki-bashi Bridge) crossing the Yodo-gawa River; after the bridge was lost, there was a ferry service running between Hashimoto and Yamazaki, which operated until 1962.
古くは地名通り淀川にかかる橋（山崎橋）のたもとで、橋が失われてからは1962年（昭和37年）まで山崎との間に渡船があった。
