History
Hokkeguchi Station opened on 3 March 1915 on what is today the Hōjō Line, located 6.1 kilometres from the line's terminus at Ao Station in Kasai, Hyōgo Prefecture. Today the line is operated by the third-sector Hōjō Railway, and the station is an unattended halt with two opposed side platforms linked by a level crossing. In 2014 the station building, platform, and even the station's outhouse-style toilet were collectively registered by the national government as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties, a recognition of the unaltered early-20th-century rural-station character preserved here.
