Sasabe

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

Sasabe Station opened on 3 November 1923 on the Nose Electric Railway Myōken Line in what is now the city of Kawanishi, Hyōgo Prefecture. Until Tokiwadai Station opened in 1968, after the area was opened for housing development, Sasabe was the only intermediate stop between Yamashita and Myōkenguchi. Today it occupies a single-platform ground-level layout with effective length for four-car trains, and remains an unattended halt on the line. With station number NS11, Sasabe handled an average of 109 passengers per day in fiscal 2019; despite its location at the back of the large Yamato Housing Complex, most residents instead use neighbouring Azano or Yamashita, where every service on the line — including the Nissei Express limited express — stops and where shops are concentrated, making Sasabe the least-used station on the entire Nose Electric Railway network.

Despite sitting beside the large Yamato Housing Complex, Sasabe is the least-used station on the entire Nose Electric Railway because most residents use neighbouring Yamashita instead, where every service on the line stops.
