Location
History
Takarazuka Station is actually two adjoining stations — one JR West, one Hankyu Railway — connected by a pedestrian deck across the redeveloped square. The JR side opened on 27 December 1897 as the terminus of the Hankaku Railway from Ikeda, became Fukuchiyama Line property after the 1907 nationalisation, and was electrified through to Takarazuka in 1981 and onward to Fukuchiyama in 1986. The Hankyu side opened on 10 March 1910 as the northern terminus of the Mino-Arima Electric Tramway, today's Takarazuka Main Line, and gained the Imazu Line in 1921. The JR station's current red-brick bridge-style building entered service on 20 February 2010.
Notes
The Hankyu side uses bespoke departure melodies on each line — Sumire no Hana Saku Koro (an iconic Takarazuka Revue song) for the Takarazuka Main Line, and the Astro Boy theme for the Imazu Line, both introduced on 21 March 2014.
