Kobe Station (神戸駅, Kōbe-eki) is a railway station in Chūō-ku, Kobe, Japan, operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West).

The station technically forms the end point of the Tokaido Main Line and the starting of the Sanyo Main Line.

This fact is barely discernible in current practice because only a few trains originate or terminate at Kobe; as a result, the station 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.

[1] With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.

[2][3] The area to the south of the station was previously a freight yard, but was redeveloped and became a waterfront commercial center called Harborland.
