Lines

edit

Kōyōen Station is a terminus of the Hankyu Kōyō Line, and is located 2.2 kilometers from the opposing terminus of the line at Shukugawa.

Station layout

edit

The station consists of a single bay platform. Due to the large number of commuters using the station in the mornings, formerly a second platform and a smaller entrance on the east side of the station were used for boarding outgoing trains. Those leaving the train use the main platform. Also because of the large number of students exiting at Kōyōen Station for nearby schools the exit gate is left open allowing those students holding commuter passes to exit without going through the turnstiles.
