Location

History

Ōike Station opened on 28 November 1928 as part of the Kobe-Arima Electric Railway. It passed to Shin'yū-Miki Electric Railway (today's Kobe Electric Railway) through the 9 January 1947 merger with Miki Electric Railway. The down-side new station house opened on 1 February 2021 and the internal level crossing was discontinued. The up-side new station house followed on 17 December 2022, the new station-front plaza opened on 25 March 2023, and the renovation programme — carried out under a coordination agreement between Kobe Electric Railway and the city of Kobe — was completed at that point.

Notes

Ōike sits at 350 m elevation. The new station houses and plaza were designed and supervised by Yasuyuki Kawanishi of Ichibansen, who also led the broadly contemporaneous Hanayama Station redevelopment, and they introduced barrier-free toilets and hearing-impaired-passenger information terminals to fully accessibility-equip the station.
