History

Maruyama Station opened on 28 November 1928 as Takatorimichi Station (鷹取道駅) of the Kobe Arima Electric Railway. On 9 January 1947 it became a station of Shin-Yū Miki Electric Railway after merger with Miki Electric Railway. The station was renamed Maruyama Station on 1 October 1948. On 30 April 1949 the operator's name changed and the station became a Kobe Electric Railway (神戸電気鉄道) station; on 1 October 1952 the station was renamed Dentetsu-Maruyama (電鉄丸山). A pedestrian overbridge was installed in November 1973. On 1 April 1988 the operator changed its name (becoming the current 神戸電鉄), and the station simultaneously reverted to Maruyama.

Notes

Maruyama Station (Kobe Electric Railway Arima Line, KB04) sits at an elevation of 95 m in Nagata-ku, Kobe. It has two side platforms serving two tracks, with a five-car effective platform length; the station building is on the down-line platform, connected to the up-line by a pedestrian overbridge. The Maruyama Thrust Fault - the first reverse fault discovered in Japan - is in the area, along with Hiyodori Lookout Park and Mount Takatori. The station is equipped with a remote-control system on a fibre-optic line and is staffed only by patrol; there is no station shop, and the ticket-discount consignment sales formerly offered by a nearby shop ended by November 2009.
