Location

History

Shintetsu Dōjō Station opened on 18 December 1928 as Dōjō Kawahara Station, with the inauguration of the Kobe Arima Electric Railway's Sanda Line, in the Kita-ku district of present-day Kobe. The Kobe Arima Electric Railway became Shinyū Sanki Electric Railway — now Kobe Electric Railway (Shintetsu) — on 9 January 1947. The station was renamed Shintetsu Dōjō Station on 20 October 1990, and an elevated station building opened on 17 April 1991. It is the northernmost station inside Kobe city limits and stands at an elevation of 164 metres. The platform is designed so it can be converted to an island platform if the line is later doubled.

Notes

Shintetsu Dōjō stands beside the bed of the former JNR Arima Line — a ditch-like depression on the east side of the station — where bridge piers and other remnants of the abandoned line can still be seen.
