• Kaigan Line: Sannomiya-Hanadokeimae ⇄ Minato Motomachi

Kyūkyoryūchi-Daimarumae Station opened on 7 July 2001 with the inauguration of the Kobe Municipal Subway Kaigan Line. The provisional name during construction was "Motomachi Station," but the chosen name references both the former foreign settlement quarter and the adjacent flagship Daimaru Kobe department store. The single island platform serves two tracks at basement level three, with the concourse one floor above. Underground corridors connect directly into the Daimaru building, the former foreign settlement, and the route toward Sannomiya. The station theme of "Exotic City" is reflected in the Western-architecture-inspired columns and grey colour palette of the concourse design.

After the closure of JR Hokkaido's Kyū-Shirataki Station in March 2016, Kyūkyoryūchi-Daimarumae became the only railway station in Japan whose name begins with the kanji 旧 ("former").
