Ōgi Station (青木駅 Ōgi-eki?) is currently a non-elevated station on the Hanshin Electric Railway Main Line, with trains travelling east to Hanshin's terminal in Umeda (Osaka), and west to central Kobe (Motomachi and Sannomiya). At Motomachi, number of limited express trains carry on along the Sanyo Railway to Himeji city. There are plans over the next fews years to make this section of the track elevated, in keeping with the majority of the line.
