History

Komagabayashi Station opened on 7 July 2001 as part of the inaugural service of the Kobe Municipal Subway Kaigan Line. Located in Nagata-ku, the station has a single island platform serving two tracks and adopts the theme "fishing port, road to the sea", chosen because Komagabayashi is a long-established port and fishing town whose Sagichō festival, held on the beach there, is said to have a thousand-year history; the platform walls themselves are white with blue tiling representing breaking waves. From April 2011 a promotional billboard reading "Agro Garden Mae" was added under the station name; the secondary name "Three Kingdoms Town" (Sangokushi no Machi) is used because the station serves the nearby KOBE Sangokushi Garden.

Notes

The long pedestrian tunnel between the concourse and exit 2 plays sea-themed sound effects that change with the season — seabirds over wave sounds in spring and autumn, shell wind-chimes in summer, and ship whistles in winter — triggered by a sensor as people walk through, between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
