History
Ōkuradani Station opened on 12 April 1917 with the Hyōgo Electric Tramway extension that reached Akashi, originally standing about 300 metres east of its present site on the Asagiri River bridge. After the railway became part of Ujigawa Electric on 1 April 1927, the station was relocated to the east end of the Asagiri River on 8 December 1927. Ujigawa divested its rail division on 6 June 1933, transferring the stop to Sanyo Electric Railway. The station moved to its current location, the former Akashi Kōjo-mae site, on 14 December 1948, and a footbridge between platforms was added in December 1970. Service was suspended by the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake and restored later that month.
