• JR Sanyo Main Line: Kobe (Hyogo) ⇄ Wadamisaki ⇄ Shin-Nagata

Hyōgo Station opened on 1 November 1888, when the Sanyo Railway's section between Hyōgo and Akashi opened, in Hyōgo-ku, Kobe. The line was extended to Kobe in 1889 and to Wadamisaki in 1890, the latter becoming the Wadamisaki branch. The Sanyo Railway was nationalised in 1906; the station was rebuilt as an elevated structure in 1930. Service was suspended after the 17 January 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake and restored on 30 January. Station numbering (JR-A64) was introduced on 17 March 2018, and the staffed Midori-no-Madoguchi reservation counter closed on 30 June 2023, with the station moving to contract operation on 1 July 2023. Today Hyōgo is the junction between the JR Kōbe Line and the short Wadamisaki branch line.

Hyōgo is the only conventional-line station in Japan that takes a prefecture's name without that name also being the prefectural capital's — Hyōgo Prefecture's capital is Kobe, the city in which the station itself stands. The name in fact derives not from the prefecture but from the historic port of Hyōgo-no-tsu, where the first prefectural office stood and from which the prefecture too was named.
