History
Mukogawadanchimae Station opened on 3 April 1984 as the new southern terminus of the Hanshin Mukogawa Line, extending the previously dead-end branch beyond Suzaki to serve the Mukogawa danchi housing complex. The Japan Housing Corporation (now UR) funded the entire 2.1 billion yen extension cost. The site is essentially that of the original 1943 Suzaki terminus, which had been relocated north in 1948. Service was disrupted by the Great Hanshin earthquake on 17 January 1995 and resumed nine days later on 26 January. Station number HS 51 was introduced on 1 April 2014. Although built with two side platforms and two tracks, only the east side is in service and the line is operated single-track.
