History

Makiochi Station opened on 30 December 1921 as a new stop between Sakurai and Mino-o on the Mino-o Arima Electric Tramway, the predecessor of today's Hankyu Railway. The Hankyu-wide station-numbering scheme was introduced on 21 December 2013, assigning the station the code HK-58. The station has two opposed side platforms; it is classified as a halt (停留所) because it has no point switches or absolute signals. The ticket gate is in a half-underground level beneath the tracks, sandwiched between two parallel roads.

Notes

The platform's effective length is enough for eight-car trains, but no scheduled eight-car services run on the Mino-o Line, so in practice only the four-car portion is used. The surrounding area is an older residential district developed as Makiochi Hyakurakusō, and Hyakurakusō in particular is known as one of the upscale neighbourhoods of the Hokusetsu region.
