History
Woody Town Chūō Station opened on 28 March 1996 as the new terminus of Kobe Electric Railway's Kōen-Toshi Line extension from Flower Town, in the Kobe-Sanda International Park City development. The Shintetsu line serves the Woody Town residential district in Sanda, Hyōgo Prefecture, and the station was built at ground level on a site 200 metres above sea level, with an overhead (bridge-type) station building and a single island platform serving two tracks. The platform is sized for five-car trains, but normal operation is three cars, with occasional four-car workings for special services. In 2001 the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism selected the station as one of the Kinki region's top 100 stations. An onward extension toward Culture Town was studied in a 1989 transport council report but dropped from the 2004 follow-up.
Notes
The station was selected as one of the "Best 100 Stations in the Kinki Region" by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in 2001, five years after it opened.
