History

Hitomarumae Station opened on 12 April 1917 with the extension of the Hyōgo Electric Tramway from Shioya (now Sanyo-Shioya) towards Akashi. Operation passed to Ujigawa Electric on 1 January 1927, was relocated when the line moved to its dedicated alignment on 23 December 1931, and transferred to Sanyo Electric Railway on 6 June 1933 when Ujigawa divested its rail operations. The station was elevated together with Sanyo-Akashi on 3 April 1991. Service was suspended after the 17 January 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake and resumed on 27 January when the Kasumigaoka–Sanyo-Akashi section reopened. The station today has one elevated island platform six cars long, with a single ground-level ticket gate.

Notes

Hitomarumae is the only railway station on the Japan Standard Time meridian (135 degrees east); a marker line on the platform shows where the meridian crosses.
