Location
History
Shukugawa Station opened on 16 July 1920 with the inauguration of the Hanshin Express Railway's Kobe Main Line. The Hankyu Kōyō branch joined on 1 October 1924, making it a junction. A company merger placed the station under Keihanshin Express Railway in 1943, and a change of company name made it a station of the present Hankyu Railway in 1973. The 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake levelled the five-storey "Shukugawa Hankyu Building" on the south side, with the Kōyō Line back in service on 1 March, services west to Okamoto on 7 April and the full Kobe Line by 12 June. Lifts and a renovated public toilet entered service in March 2003, all limited expresses began calling on 28 October 2006, and station number HK-09 was applied on 21 December 2013.
