HistoryEdit
Construction of the first line of the subway system, the Seishin Line, began on November 25, 1971. The line opened on March 13, 1977, running for Template:Convert between Myōdani and Shin-Nagata stations. A second line, the Yamate Line, opened on June 17, 1983, running for Template:Convert between Shin-Nagata and Ōkurayama stations. On June 18, 1985, the Yamate Line was extended to Shin-Kobe and the Seishin Line was extended to Gakuen-toshi. When the final stage of the Seishin Line, an extension to Seishin-Chuo, opened on March 18, 1987, the Seishin Line and the Yamate Line were merged into the Seishin-Yamate Line.
The Hokushin Kyūkō Electric Railway opened the Template:Convert Hokushin Line extension between Shin-Kobe and Tanigami on April 2, 1988; services on the Hokushin Line have through service onto the Seishin-Yamate Line.
On January 17, 1995, the Seishin-Yamate Line was damaged in the Great Hanshin earthquake. The day after the earthquake, limited services resumed between Seishin-Chuo and Itayado; full service was restored to the entire line in March 1995 after repairs were completed.
On July 7, 2001, the Template:Convert long Kaigan Line opened between Sannomiya-hanadokeimae and Shin-Nagata.
On June 1, 2020, Hokushin Line was transferred to Kobe Municipal Subway.
