It looks like a new station name will be added to Hanshin-Kokudo Station.
The secondary station name will be “Nishinomiya General Medical Center-mae”
阪神国道駅の副駅名「西宮総合医療センター前」、しっくりくる？
With the opening of “Hyogo Prefectural Nishinomiya General Medical Center” on July 1, a secondary station name will be added.
Here’s the current station name sign. The sign is the older rounded type.It says “Hanshin-Kokudo,” but this is not a Hanshin Railway station; it’s a Hankyu Railway station.
When it gets updated, it’ll probably change to this type. It’s lighter than the previous type
Finally
Many secondary station names on Hankyu Railway are named after facilities located near the station, like “Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens-mae” for Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station, or “Takarazuka Grand Theater / Takarazuka Hotel-mae” for Takarazuka Station. The in-train announcements will be updated too, so I’m looking forward to hearing how they turn out.
