History
Shinzaike Station opened on the Hanshin Main Line on 12 April 1905 under a different name (Tōmyō station). It was renamed to its current name in 1930.

Service was suspended owing to the Great Hanshin earthquake in January 1995. Restoration work on the Hanshin Main Line took 7 months to complete.

Station numbering was introduced on 21 December 2013, with Shinzaike being designated as station number HS-27.
