History
Chidoribashi Station opened on 1 August 1924 as the new terminus of the Hanshin Electric Railway Dempō Line, extending the line from Dempō. It served as a terminus for forty years until a further extension to Nishikujō opened on 21 May 1964, the day after the line had been renamed the Nishi-Osaka Line. The line was renamed again as the Hanshin Namba Line on 20 March 2009, and station numbering HS46 was introduced on 1 April 2014. The current elevated station has two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. Latent provisions in the platform shape and viaduct width — visible in the tapered ends and the widened east side — date from a long-shelved plan for a four-track island-platform configuration.
