History

Kita-Shinoda Station opened on 2 February 1932 as Kuzunoha-Inari Stop on the Hanwa Electric Railway, named after a nearby shrine connected to the Kuzunoha fox-spirit legend. It was renamed Hanwa-Kuzunoha Stop, then Kuzunoha-Inari Stop again in August 1941, and was wartime-nationalised on 1 May 1944, at which point it was upgraded to a full station and given its present name. The station transferred to JR West with the 1987 privatisation. Automatic gates were installed in May 1998, ICOCA support began in November 2003, and station numbering JR-R35 was introduced in March 2018; an elevator-equipped free passage replaced the underground passage in April 2025.

Notes

Along the approach to Shinodamori Kuzunoha Inari Shrine, from which the station took its name when it opened, four large vermilion torii gates stand in a row, and a painting depicting the parting scene from the Kuzunoha legend hangs at the east exit.
