History

The station of the Hankyu line opened on March 8, 1970 and provided bus connection for passengers visiting Expo '70 (held March 15, 1970 through September 13, 1970). Unlike temporary Bankokuhaku Nishiguchi Station on the Senri Line (near present Yamada Station), which was open only during the Expo, Minami-Ibaraki Station was built as a parmanent station.[1]

The monorail station opened on June 1, 1990.[2]
