[2] West of the station is a short siding between the two tracks for train up to six cars.

From April 7, 1968 to February 14, 1998, trains of Sanyo Electric Railway operated on the Hankyu line between Sannomiya and Rokkō used this siding to change the direction.

Presently it is regularly used by out-of-service trains (forwarding of additional cars for peak hours).
