History

Myōdani Station opened on 13 March 1977 as the western terminus of the Kobe Municipal Subway's newly built section to Shin-Nagata, making it the line's zero-kilometre post. When service was extended to Gakuentoshi on 18 June 1985 the station's outer two tracks entered use, giving it the present two-island, four-track layout. Rapid services began calling here in 1993 but were suspended after the Great Hanshin earthquake of 17 January 1995 and formally discontinued that July. The site was carved from a limestone valley known locally as Suppoko-dani, and a multi-phase "Tete Myōdani" redevelopment finished in March 2025.
