History

Rokkōmichi Station opened on 20 July 1934. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company. 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.[2][3]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 26,441 passengers daily[4]
