• Tokaido Main Line: Nishinomiya (JR West) ⇄ Tachibana

Kōshienguchi Station opened on 20 July 1934 alongside Tsukamoto, Tachibana, Rokkomichi and Motomachi, all built for the new electric service between Suita and Suma. Local Kawaragi-village authorities had lobbied hard for the stop and paid the construction cost. JR West inherited the station at the 1987 privatisation; the JR Kobe Line branding was added in 1988. The January 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake closed it briefly, with services restored eastward on 19 January and westward on 25 January. A 2007-2009 step-free upgrade installed lifts and shifted the platforms eastwards. The north entrance was rebuilt in 2014, and the south-side "Vierra Kōshienguchi" station building opened in July 2015.

Despite the name ("Koshien Stadium entrance"), the actual stadium lies about 2.3 km south; passengers transfer to a Hanshin Bus from the south exit. The Kōshienguchi neighbourhood itself was only named after the station in 1950 — the station came first.
