History

Kenchōmae Station opened on 18 June 1985 on the Kobe Municipal Subway Seishin-Yamate Line, originally under the name "Yamate (Kenchōmae)". It was renamed to its current short form "Kenchōmae" on 20 March 1993. A rapid service began on 9 July that year, with Kenchōmae one of the stations passed through rather than stopped at. The station was damaged in the Great Hanshin earthquake on 17 January 1995 and reopened to traffic on 16 February of that year; the suspended rapid service was formally discontinued on 21 July 1995. The two-level underground platform structure has the station themed around Kobe's "Ijinkan" foreign-resident architecture.
