Shukugawa Station (夙川駅, Shukugawa-eki, station number: HK-09) is a passenger railway station located in the Aioichō neighborhood of the city of Nishinomiya, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the private transportation company Hankyu Railway.[1]
Lines
[edit]Shukugawa Station is served by the Hankyu Kobe Line, and is located 18.3 kilometres (11.4 miles) from the terminus of the line at Osaka-umeda. It is also a terminus of the 2.2 km (1.4 mi) long Hankyu Kōyō Line.
Layout
[edit]The station is an above-ground station with two opposed side platforms for the Kobe Main Line and a single side platform platforms for the Kōyō Line. The Kōyō Line platform extends vertically to the north of the Kobe Main Line platform bound for Osaka. There used to be two lines on the Kōyō Line, but the tracks on the west side have been removed. Each platform is connected by an underground passage. The Kobe Main Line platform straddles the Shukugawa River in part on the east side, and the Kōyō Line platform is located on the west bank of the Shukugawa River. Ticket gates are located in the north and south. There is a bypass between the Kobe Line and the Koyo Line near the north ticket gates, which is used for the trains of the Koyo Line heading to and from Nishinomiya Depot in the east of Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station.
