Location
History
Hanayama Station opened on 1 December 1965 on the Kobe Electric Railway Arima Line in Kita-ku, Kobe, Hyōgo Prefecture, expressly to serve the Hanayama housing estate that Kobe Dentetsu was developing nearby. The station has two ground-level opposed side platforms with no platform numbering, joined to its station building by a level crossing. Express trains began stopping at Hanayama with the 14 March 2020 timetable revision, and a refurbished station building entered service on 5 November 2022. A redesigned forecourt opened in March 2023, completing the barrier-free renewal jointly funded by Kobe city and the railway operator. The station sits at an elevation of 281 metres.
Notes
A nearby housing complex is reached by Japan's first inclined elevator (斜行エレベーター), installed for residents of the Hanayama-Higashi estate.
