Lines

Hattori-tenjin Station is served by the Hankyu Takarazuka Line, and is located 7.5 kilometers from the terminus of the line at .

Layout

The station consists of two opposed ground-level side platforms. There is no connection between platforms within the station, and passengers wishing to change platforms must use the railroad crossing in front of the station outside the ticket gate, but during rush hours, it becomes a so-called "unopened railroad crossing", and there was no end to the reckless crossing by pedestrians. In addition, since there is a lot of traffic at the railroad crossing in front of the station, there was a request from local residents to install a footbridge on the platform, but it was not installed as it was not possible to secure the land necessary for construction. However, in March 2018, an underground passage was finally built outside the station, making it possible to change lines without using the railroad crossing, even though it is outside the ticket gate..
