History
Yamanomachi Station opened on 28 November 1928 as the Tōge Signal Stop on the Kobe-Arima Electric Railway between Minatogawa and what is now Arima Onsen Station, in Kita-ku, Kobe. It was promoted to a full station on 8 March 1935 and renamed Yamanomachi Station a week later, on 15 March 1935. The stop, located 10.3 rail-kilometers from Minatogawa, is now part of the Shintetsu Arima Line and is numbered KB08; it sits at an elevation of about 316 m. Two ground-level side platforms, four cars long, are linked to the station building by a level crossing, and a south-side ticket gate connects directly to a bus and taxi turnaround serving the surrounding hillside residential area.
