• JR Sanyo Main Line: Higashi-Himeji ⇄ Himeji-Bessho

Gochaku Station opened on 18 April 1900 on what is now the JR San'yō Main Line, located in the city of Himeji, Hyōgo Prefecture, 50.5 km west of Kobe and 83.6 km from Osaka. The station has one ground-level side platform and one ground-level island platform connected by a footbridge, and remains staffed. With the privatisation and breakup of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, it came under the West Japan Railway Company (JR West). Station numbering was introduced across the line in March 2018, when Gochaku received the designation JR-A83. The station serves the nearby Harima Kokubun-ji temple ruins and the Danbayama burial mounds.
