Amagasaki (Hanshin)

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Amagasaki Station opened on 12 April 1905 with the launch of the Hanshin Main Line. Operated by Hanshin Electric Railway as station HS-09 in Amagasaki, Hyōgo Prefecture, it also anchors the Hanshin Namba Line, whose predecessor (the Denpo Line, later renamed the Nishi-Osaka Line) reached the station in 1928 and was itself renamed and extended to Osaka Namba in 2009. The station was elevated onto a viaduct in 1963 and rebuilt between 2003 and 2009 for the Namba Line extension, emerging with four island platforms across six tracks. It is the only stop east of Kobe-Sannomiya served by every Hanshin train category, and a separate JR West station of the same name lies nearby but requires a bus transfer.

In 2003 and 2005, Amagasaki Central Park beside the station hosted outdoor public viewings of the Hanshin Tigers' pennant-clinching games, drawing crowds of several thousand for a traditional sake-barrel-opening celebration.
