History
Rokkō Station opened on 16 July 1920 with the Kobe Line of the predecessor Hanshin-Kyūkō Electric Railway. In 1968 the station was rebuilt to a so-called Shinkansen-type layout — two passing tracks in the middle with siding tracks for stopping trains outside them — to accommodate eight-car trains and through services from the Sanyo Electric Railway, which continued until February 1998. The Great Hanshin earthquake of 17 January 1995 suspended services on the line, and the Kobe Line was fully restored on 12 June 1995. A new bridge-style station building opened on 9 April 2000, and station numbering HK-13 was applied on 21 December 2013.
Notes
Rokkō is the only Hankyu-operated station built in a "Shinkansen-style" layout, with the two main running tracks passing straight through the centre and the platforms on side tracks outside them.
