Location

History

Minami Woody Town Station opened on 28 March 1996 with Kobe Electric Railway's Kōen-Toshi Line extension from Flower Town to Woody Town Chūō, in the Kobe-Sanda International Park City development. The station has an elevated single island platform serving two tracks, with the station building below it; the platform is sized for five-car trains, although three-car operation is the norm. It is unattended and managed remotely, its ticket machines, ticket gates and fare-adjustment machines being operated from a central station over a trackside optical network. Most trains on the Kōen-Toshi Line pass each other here. At the planning stage of the Kōen-Toshi Line the station's working name was "Hokusetsu Chūō Minami".

Notes

During its design phase the station was tentatively called "Hokusetsu Chūō Minami" before it received its current promotional name tied to the Woody Town development.
