Wadamisaki Line

is an unofficial name for the spur line of the Sanyo Main Line, operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West) and connecting Hyogo on the main line and Wadamisaki.

Operation

The convert|2.7|km|adj=on line has only two stops, and only operates during morning and evening, and mainly serves commuters to the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Electric factories in the Wadamisaki industrial area of Kobe.

Although the line is officially part of the Sanyo Main Line, there is no regular through service between the branch and the main line, and Wadamisaki Branch trains depart from a separate platform at Hyogo. Because the line has no intermediate station and Wadamisaki Station is unmanned, all fare collection is conducted at Hyogo. The line makes just two daily roundtrips on weekends, with additional trips for events at Kobe Wing Stadium, the home stadium of J-League club Vissel Kobe.
