Location

History

Gosha Station opened on 18 December 1928, simultaneously with the inauguration of the Sanda Line by the Kobe Arima Electric Railway. On 9 January 1947, the operator merged with the Miki Electric Railway to form the Shin'yū Miki Electric Railway, predecessor of the present Kobe Electric Railway (Shintetsu). The station is located in Arino-chō, Kita-ku, Kobe, sits at an elevation of 259 metres and carries the station number KB21. It consists of a single side platform serving one bidirectional track and is unattended. Gosha lies on the still single-tracked section between Okaba and Arimaguchi, and among stations on single-track sections — excluding those at the start and end of double-track sections — it is the only station on the Shintetsu network at which scheduled trains are timetabled to pass without stopping.

Notes

Excluding the stations that mark the start and end of the double-track sections, Gosha is the only station on the Kobe Electric Railway network sitting on a single-track section where a scheduled service — the Tokkaisoku (special rapid) — is timetabled to pass through without stopping.
