History

Myōhōji Station opened on 13 March 1977 on the Kobe Municipal Subway's Seishin-Yamate Line. The two-track surface-cut station, designed around an "autumn" motif with russet roofs and ceramic murals depicting chestnuts and persimmons, became a pass-through station when rapid services began in July 1993, but those operations were suspended after the Great Hanshin earthquake of January 1995 and formally discontinued that July. Because the surrounding hillside community in northern Suma Ward lacks alternative rail, the station carries heavy commuter loads and the section toward neighbouring Itayado is the busiest stretch on the line.
