Nakayama-kannon

History

Nakayama-kannon Station opened on 10 March 1910 as Nakayamadera Station, one of the original stations on the Mino-Arima Electric Tramway (later Hankyū Railway). The name was later shortened to Nakayama Station, with "Nakayama-kannon-mae" carried as a sub-name and used in on-train announcements. An underground station building was completed around 1960 and rebuilt in 1981 with the gateline shifted some 20 m east, and the station was reconfigured as an underground station in June 1983. On 21 December 2013 it was renamed Nakayama-kannon Station and assigned the number HK-53. Located in Nakayamadera, Takarazuka, Hyōgo Prefecture, it sits 21.5 km from Osaka-Umeda on the Hankyū Takarazuka Line and serves both Nakayama-dera temple and the Nakayamadai new town.

Notes

Nakayama-kannon Station has no facing turnouts or absolute signals and is therefore classified as a stop rather than a station under Japanese railway regulations.
