Location

History

Kita Futo Station opened on 5 February 1981 as part of Kobe New Transit's elevated Port Island Line (Port Liner). Sited on Port Island in Chūō-ku, Kobe, the station serves only the northbound loop towards Sannomiya. The line was suspended in full following the Great Hanshin earthquake on 17 January 1995; the section through Kita Futo reopened in stages on 22 May and 5 June 1995. The route was closed again briefly in November 2004 and September 2005 during track-switching works for the line's extension to Kobe Airport.

Notes

Because Kita Futo lies on the single-direction loop section of the Port Liner, trains here only run northbound — riders bound for Kobe Airport must transfer one stop later at Naka Koen.
