History
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]
