Location

History

Gosha Station opened on 18 December 1928, simultaneously with the inauguration of the Sanda Line by the Kobe Arima Electric Railway. On 9 January 1947, the operator merged with the Miki Electric Railway to form the Shin'yū Sanki Electric Railway, predecessor of the present Kobe Electric Railway (Shintetsu). The station is located in Arino-chō, Kita-ku, Kobe, sits at an elevation of 259 metres and carries the station number KB21. It consists of a single side platform serving one bidirectional track and is unattended. Gosha lies on the still single-tracked section between Okaba and Arimaguchi and is the only station on the Shintetsu network where a stop is bypassed by a class of through service.

Notes

Gosha is the only Shintetsu station on a single-track segment (excluding line termini) where a regular service category — the limited express "Tokkaisoku" — is timetabled to pass through without stopping.
