In the late 1990s, as the first railway company in the Kinki District, Hankyu Railway allowed third-party entities to shoot TV programs, movies and dramas in its premises (in Japan, Keisei Electric Railway was the first railway company that started business activity related to the shooting of TV and movies).
1990年代後半頃に近畿地方の鉄道事業者では初めて外部の事業者のテレビ番組、映画、ドラマの撮影を認めた（日本の鉄道事業者で最初にこの事業を開始したのは京成電鉄である）。
