Kōbe Station (神戸駅 Kōbe Eki?) is a station located in Chūō-ku, Kobe, Japan. Although Kobe Station is the namesake of its city and the closest station to Kobe City Hall, the commercial center of Kobe is closer to Sannomiya Station.
The station is technically the end of the Tōkaidō Main Line and the start of the Sanyō 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 the JR Kobe Line, an alternative name for the section of the Tokaido and Sanyo lines between Osaka and Himeji.
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 the Kobe Municipal Subway Kaigan Line.
Kosoku Kobe Station on the Kobe Rapid Railway is also nearby.
The station consists for five tracks with one side platform and two island platforms.
