Sonoda station (園田駅, Sonoda-ekii, station number: HK-05) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Amagasaki Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the private transportation company Hankyu Railway. [1] Although technically situated in Amagasaki, it is a five-minute walk to neighboring Osaka Prefecture.
Sonoda Station is served by the Hankyu Kobe Line, and is located 7.2 kilometres (4.5 miles) from the terminus of the line at Osaka-umeda.
The station consists of two elevated island platforms serving four tracks and a single unnumbered side platform outside the inbound siding track. Normally, only the island platform is used, and the single platform is a 'temporary platform' for getting off, which was mainly used when the Sonoda horse race is held.

Below the station itself exists a small shopping centre called Sonoda Hankyu Plaza (園田阪急プラザ) which undertook a major renovation completed at the end of April 2006. It now consists of many restaurants, a Matsumoto Kiyoshi pharmacy, a Mister Donut, a branch of the Kohyo chain of supermarket, a Docomo mobile phone shop as well as various smaller retailers.
