Shintetsu-Rokko

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

Shintetsu Rokkō Station opened on 28 November 1928 as Rokkō Kitaguchi Station with the Kobe-Arima Electric Railway's Minatogawa–Denshatsu Arima (now Arima-Onsen) extension. It was renamed Rokkō Tozanguchi Station on 10 October 1929, then absorbed by Shin'yū-Miki Electric Railway (today's Kobe Electric Railway) through the 9 January 1947 merger with Miki Electric Railway. It received its present name, Shintetsu Rokkō, on 1 April 1988. The station building was rebuilt in October 1996 in a Western mountain-lodge style to align with the new "Kobe Dentetsu Rokkō Hibarigaoka" residential development next to the station.

Shintetsu Rokkō stands at 323 m elevation on the north side of Mount Rokkō. The like-named Rokkō Station on the Hankyu Kobe Main Line (in Nada Ward) lies about 7 km to the south on the opposite side of the mountain. The station is fitted with a remote station-management system connected to the optical-fibre network that runs along the line, letting a central station operate the ticket machines, fare gates, fare adjusters, CCTV cameras, intercoms and shutters; there is no in-station kiosk.
