History

Shukugawa Station opened on 16 July 1920.[1]

1934 was the start of service on the Koyo Line.[1]

The station was damaged by the Great Hanshin earthquake in January 1995. Restoration work on the Kobe Line took 7 months to complete.[1]

In 2006, the platforms were extended to support 10-car trains.[2]

Station numbering was introduced on 21 December 2013, with Shukugawa being designated as station number HK-09.[3]
