Ishiyagawa

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

Ishiyagawa Station opened on the Hanshin Main Line on 12 April 1905 in Higashinada-ku, Kobe. The Great Hanshin earthquake of 17 January 1995 halted service on the Hanshin Main Line and closed the station; it reopened on 26 June 1995, when the Mikage–Nishi-Nada section returned to service and the whole of the Hanshin Main Line was restored. In the rebuilding the station was given a single island platform in place of its earlier two opposed side platforms. Station numbering HS 26 was introduced on 1 April 2014. The Ishiyagawa rail yard sits on the Sannomiya side of the station, with a crossover track. The platform is 120 m long — long enough for a 19 m-class six-car Hanshin train — but in practice only four-car trains stop here.

Part of the platform crosses directly over the Ishiya River, which gives the station its name, and the surrounding district served as one of the settings for Studio Ghibli's Grave of the Fireflies.
