Shukuin

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

Shukuin Station (HN23) is a Hankai Tramway Hankai Line tram stop in Sakai-ku, Sakai, at the intersection with Phoenix-dōri (National Route 26). It opened on 5 March 1912 as part of the southward extension of the original Hankai Electric Tramway from Ichinochō (today Ōshōji) toward Shōrinjibashi (today Goryōmae). The Ōhama branch line opened from here to the aquarium at Ōhama on 1 April 1912 but went out of service after the 1945 firebombing of Sakai, was officially suspended on 3 March 1949 and was abolished in 1980. Operator changes followed the rest of the Hankai network. In 2015–2016 the stop was rebuilt with its platforms relocated on either side of the intersection and a station roof modelled on the Ōhama Park 'Shio-yu' bathhouse to which the line once led.

When Shukuin was rebuilt in 2015–2016 the new station roof was deliberately modelled on the Ōhama Park 'Shio-yu' bathhouse — the destination of the now-vanished Ōhama branch line that diverged at this stop in 1912 and ran for 33 years until the 1945 firebombing of Sakai.
