Location

History

Nagata Station opened on 28 November 1928 with the inauguration of the Kobe Arima Electric Railway's section between Minatogawa and Dentetsu-Arima (today's Arima Onsen). On 29 August 1945, an up-line train suffering brake failure derailed and overturned at the station, killing 48. The operator name became Shin'yū-Sanki Dentetsu after the merger with Miki Electric Railway on 9 January 1947, was renamed Kobe Denki Tetsudō on 30 April 1949, and was again renamed Kobe Dentetsu on 1 April 1988. Barrier-free facility upgrades and a renovated toilet block began on 1 July 2019.

Notes

Although the station shares the place name 長田 with the Kobe Municipal Subway's Nagata Station and Hanshin's Kōsoku-Nagata Station — both in the same Nagata-ku — they sit 1.2 km apart and offer no transfer. To stress that they are separate stations, train announcements repeat this stop's name as "Shintetsu Nagata."
