History
Asagiri Station opened on 20 June 1968 on the Japanese National Railways (JNR) San'yō Main Line between Maiko and Akashi stations in Akashi, Hyōgo. JNR initially proposed the name Nishi-Maiko, but the city objected to using a Kobe place name for an Akashi station, suggesting Higashi-Akashi or Asagiri; Asagiri was adopted. The station closed briefly after the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake but reopened on 23 January 1995. Station rebuilding in October 1998 added an elevator and escalator. ICOCA service began in November 2003. The 21 July 2001 Akashi pedestrian-bridge crush, in which eleven people died, occurred on the bridge leading to this station.
Notes
The 21 July 2001 Akashi pedestrian-bridge accident, which killed eleven people and injured 247, occurred on a pedestrian bridge leading to Asagiri Station.
