It looks like the elevator inside the ticket gates at Hankyu Kotoen Station is under construction.

Quoted from Kotoen | Timetables, Station Map, Outing Information | Hankyu Railway
It seems that renovation work is being carried out on two elevators inside the station ticket gates.
Here is the construction schedule ↓
- Elevator on the Takarazuka-bound platform
Construction period: October 23 (Thu) to November 25 (Tue) - Elevator on the Nishinomiya-kitaguchi-bound platform
Construction period: November 26 (Wed) to December 27 (Sat)
Both elevators will apparently be out of service for about one month each.

Work has already started on the elevator for the Takarazuka-bound platform, and the area including the ticket gate is no longer passable. The elevators outside the ticket gates, on both the east and west sides, are still available〜
In Closing
At Kotoen Station, renovation work was also carried out on the escalators outside the ticket gates a little while ago〜. HELLO CYCLING has also been installed in front of the station, and more parking lots have been popping up here and there, so the station area is becoming more convenient to live around〜😄
