History
Minami Woody Town Station opened on 28 March 1996 with Kobe Electric Railway's Kōen-Toshi Line extension from Flower Town to Woody Town Chūō, in the Kobe-Sanda International Park City development. The station has an elevated single island platform serving two tracks, with the station building below it; the platform is sized for five-car trains, although three-car operation is the norm. Like the other Shintetsu stations on this line, it is unattended and managed remotely, with automated equipment operated over an optical network from a central station. Most trains on the Kōen-Toshi Line pass each other here. Planning documents refer to the station's working name during design as "Hokusetsu Chūō Minami".

During its design phase the station was tentatively called "Hokusetsu Chūō Minami" before it received its current promotional name tied to the Woody Town development.
