Sakae (Hyogo)

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

Sakae Station opened on 15 June 1937 as a station of Miki Electric Railway between Kizu and Oshibedani — neighbouring Kobata Station opened the same day — in Sakae, Oshibedani-chō, Nishi-ku, Kobe, Hyōgo. It passed to Kobe-Arima Electric Railway on 9 January 1947 through merger, becoming part of Shinyū Miki Electric Railway (later Kobe Electric Railway, Shintetsu). The station was renamed Dentetsu Sakae on 1 October 1952, a new station building was completed in May 1979 — until then the station had had no building at all — and the name was restored to Sakae on 1 April 1988. The station is now operated by a remote management system over the line's optical-fibre network, with discount tickets sold on consignment at a beauty salon south of the station.

Sakae Station had no station building at all from its 1937 opening until May 1979 — for over 40 years passengers used the platforms directly without an enclosed concourse.
