History
The station of the Hankyu line opened on 8 March 1970, and provided bus connection for passengers visiting Expo '70 (held March 15, 1970, through September 13, 1970).

The monorail station opened on 1 June 1990.[2]
Station numbering was introduced to all Hankyu stations on 21 December 2013 with this station being designated as station number HK-68.[3]
