Seishin-chūō Station is a ground-level terminus station on the Kobe Municipal Subway Seishin–Yamate Line in Kōjidai 5-chōme, Nishi-ku, Kobe, with station number S17. It opened on 18 March 1987 and is the westernmost station of the Kobe Municipal Subway and the westernmost subway station on Honshū. The station serves as the central hub of Seishin Newtown, which the host ward describes as built up around it. Nishi-ku itself is the newest of Kobe's nine wards, established in 1982 when it split off from Tarumi-ku to handle the rapid Seishin Newtown development; it covers nearly 30 percent of Kobe's land area and today has the largest population of any Kobe ward, with the youngest age profile and the lowest elderly share, all driven by the new-town inflows.

Seishin Newtown — the area immediately around this terminus station — was planned in tandem with the project to supply construction soil for Port Island and Rokkō Island, with the resulting Seishin housing estate, Seishin-Minami newtown, and the Seishin industrial park forming the broader West-Kobe new-town cluster that the station now anchors.
