Ashiya (Hanshin)

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

The Hanshin Main Line reached Ashiya when it opened on 12 April 1905. Hanshin Electric Railway operates the station, which has two opposed ground-level side platforms, part of them crossing the Ashiya River on a bridge, with underground ticket gates on the station's east and west sides. On 17 January 1995 the Great Hanshin earthquake damaged the line and closed the station; service through the section including Ashiya resumed on 26 January, and the whole line was working again on 26 June 1995. Ashiya later received the station number HS-20. It still serves Hanshin Main Line trains today, though since a December 2022 revision the rapid limited express stops there only on weekday mornings.

The upscale riverside district by the station includes the former Yamamura House, a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed residence that is a national Important Cultural Property.
