• Hankyu Kobe Main Line: Ashiyagawa ⇄ Mikage (Hyogo · Hankyu)

Okamoto Station opened on 16 July 1920 with the inauguration of the Hanshin Kyūkō Dentetsu (Hankyu) Kōbe Line. The level crossing inside the station premises was removed around 1967, automatic ticket gates entered service on 7 October 1973, and the station building was rebuilt in 1979. The station was damaged by the Great Hanshin earthquake on 17 January 1995 and service was suspended; the Kōbe Line was restored in stages, with the Shukugawa - Okamoto section reopening on 7 April, Okamoto - Mikage on 1 June and the whole line on 12 June 1995. The timetable revision of 12 June then made Okamoto a stop for every train type (limited express, rapid express - today's semi-limited express - commuter limited express and commuter express). Elevators were added on 1 August 2006, station numbering (HK-11) was introduced on 21 December 2013, and the flap-style departure indicators were replaced with LCD panels on 1 March 2022.

Okamoto is the Kōbe Line mid-route station that lies closest to its JR equivalent (Settsu-Motoyama). Hankyu had long studied stopping limited-express trains there to compete with the parallel JR Kōbe Line; the 1995 post-quake timetable change finally realised that plan, which made limited-express journey times longer overall and consequently reduced the number of all-stops trains being held at Rokkō.
