Okaba

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

Okaba Station opened on 18 December 1928 when the Shintetsu Sanda Line, then operated by Kōbe-Arima Electric Railway, was inaugurated. It passed to Shinyū-Miki Electric Railway in 1947 through a merger with the Miki Electric Railway and ultimately to Kobe Electric Railway. From March 1984 work began on doubling and elevating the line as part of regional new-town development; the elevated section reached Okaba on 16 November 1985, when the station was relocated 200 m south. The single-platform two-track configuration was rebuilt to two island platforms with three tracks in November 1995. Okaba is the central station of the Fujiwaradai new town in Kita-ku, Kobe, and has been designated by the city as a satellite town centre.
