History
Shōjaku Station opened on 16 January 1928 with the Shin-Keihan Railway's Awaji-Takatsukimachi (now Takatsuki-shi) extension, in what is now Settsu, Osaka. It became part of Keihan Electric Railway through the 15 September 1930 corporate merger, and of Keihanshin Kyuko (today's Hankyu) on 1 October 1943. The Shin-Keihan Line was renamed the Kyoto Main Line on 1 December 1949. The station was rebuilt as an overhead-concourse station in 1980, and station number HK-66 was introduced on 21 December 2013. The station has two island platforms with four through tracks and one connecting track to Hankyu's Shōjaku depot and workshops, which abut the north side of the station.

Notes
Hankyu numbers Shōjaku's tracks starting at 2 because depot track 1 — the unplatformed connector to the Shōjaku workshops — is counted first in the station diagram.
