The district was established as part of the electoral reform of 1994; the area was previously part of Hyōgo 1st district, which covered the whole of Kobe and elected five representatives by single non-transferable vote. The reform abolished the system of multi-member districts that had existed since 1947 and replaced them with small single-member districts coupled with large multi-member proportional representation blocks.
Since the district's creation it has been heavily contested and the seat has frequently changed hands between parties. Until the 2024 election only the first member Hajime Ishii had won consecutive elections.
