• Hankyū Kobe Main Line: Mikage (Hyogo · Hankyu) ⇄ Ojikoen

Rokkō Station opened on 16 July 1920 with the Kobe Line of the predecessor Hanshin-Kyūkō Electric Railway. In 1968 the station was rebuilt to a so-called Shinkansen-type layout — two passing tracks in the middle with siding tracks for stopping trains outside them — to accommodate eight-car trains and through services from the Sanyo Electric Railway, which continued until February 1998. The Great Hanshin earthquake of 17 January 1995 closed the line, and Kobe Line restoration took roughly seven months. A new bridge-style station building opened on 9 April 2000, and station numbering HK-13 was applied on 21 December 2013.

Rokkō is the only Hankyu-operated station built in a "Shinkansen-style" layout, with the two main running tracks passing straight through the centre and the platforms on side tracks outside them.
