History edit

 
Damage after the Great Hanshin earthquake.

Shinzaike Station opened on the Hanshin Main Line on 12 April 1905 under a different name (Tōmyō station).[3] It was renamed to its current name in 1930.[3]

Service was suspended owing to the Great Hanshin earthquake in January 1995. Restoration work on the Hanshin Main Line took 7 months to complete.[4]

Station numbering was introduced on 21 December 2013, with Shinzaike being designated as station number HS-27.[5]
