Midorigaoka (Hyogo)

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Midorigaoka Station opened on 8 March 1950 as Hirono Yakyūjō-mae Station, a passenger stop on the Kobe Electric Railway Ao Line between Oshibetani and Hirono Shinkai (now Hirono Golf-jō-mae), in present-day Miki, Hyōgo Prefecture. It was renamed Midorigaoka on 15 June 1958. The station became unstaffed in April 2000, and the kiosk at the station, outside the ticket gates, closed in March 2012. It is now the only single-track, single-platform stop on the line between Nishi-Suzurandai and Shijimi. The station is operated remotely via the line's optical-network station-management system, and, alongside Shijimi, serves as a focal station for Miki's Jiyūgaoka new-town area, drawing many of its passengers from the Midorigaoka and Aoyama new-town districts north of the station. Its station number is KB48.

Daily ridership on Shintetsu has been pulled down in recent years by the competing Shinki Bus service to Sannomiya, which loads at the station's own forecourt roundabout.
