Tōkaidō Main Line and the start of theSanyō Main Line . This fact is barely discernible in current practice because no trains originate or terminate at Kobe; as a result the line is more commonly perceived as being in the midsection of theJR Kobe Line , an alternative name for the section of the Tokaido and Sanyo lines betweenOsaka andHimeji .The area to the south of the station was previously a freight yard, but was redeveloped and became a waterfront commercial center called Harborland. This area is also served by
Harborland Station on theKobe Municipal Subway Kaigan Line .Kosoku Kobe Station on theKobe Rapid Railway is also nearby.The station consists for five tracks with one side platform and two island platforms.
