History

Due to the Great Hanshin earthquake of 17 January 1995, the first floor of the station building, which had just been rebuilt several years previously, collapsed along with the elevated tracks. Restoration work was completed by 1 April of the same year.

Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Rokkōmichi being assigned station number JR-A58.
