Location
History
Maiko-kōen Station opened on 12 April 1917 as Maiko Station on the Hyōgo Electric Tramway, when the line was extended from Shioya (now Sanyo-Shioya) towards Akashi. The operator was absorbed by Ujigawa Electric in 1927; when that company's railway department was spun off on 6 June 1933 the station became part of Sanyo Electric Railway. It was renamed Maiko-kōen on 1 August 1935, and the station was relocated in 1948. The line was severed by the Great Hanshin earthquake on 17 January 1995, and the station reopened on 27 January when service resumed on the Kasumigaoka–Sanyo-Akashi section. An elevated station building was opened on 29 September 2001 and the underground passage retired. From the 10 March 2001 timetable revision, through limited expresses and limited expresses began stopping here on Saturdays and holidays, with full-week service following on 28 October 2006.
Notes
From 1917 to 1935 there were two stations called "Maiko" on adjacent lines — what is now JR Maiko had carried the name "Maiko-kōen" earlier still, between 1896 and 1899, before this station even opened.
