History
The station opened on 1 April 1936 as Nishi-Nada Station, on the same day that the Hanshin Express Electric Railway (now Hankyu) extended the Kobe Main Line into the second-generation Kobe (now Kobe-Sannomiya) terminus. The earlier line terminus was renamed Kamitsutsui, and the connecting section became the Kamitsutsui Line until its abolition on 20 May 1940. The current station building dates from 24 October 1956. The station was renamed Ōji-kōen on 1 June 1984 to distinguish it from a nearby Hanshin Nishi-Nada Station and to reflect the adjacent Ōji Park. The Great Hanshin earthquake of 17 January 1995 damaged the station and suspended service; trains returned on 13 February 1995 when the Mikage–Ōji-kōen section reopened, and the whole Kobe Main Line was back in service on 12 June 1995. Station numbering as HK-14 followed on 21 December 2013.
Notes
In reference to the giant pandas once kept at Ōji Zoo, panda illustrations are placed throughout the station.
