History[edit]

Kasuganomichi Station opened on the Hanshin Main Line on 12 April 1905.^[1]

The station was moved underground in 1934.^[1]

Once dubbed "Japan's scariest station", the layout built in 1934 was a single platform serving two tracks.^[1] The single island platform was only 2.6 m (8.5 ft) wide, which was narrower than the average train body (2.8 m (9.2 ft)). Construction work on new side platforms concluded in September 2004.^[1]

Station numbering was introduced on 21 December 2013, with Kasuganomichi being designated as station number HS-31.^[2]
