Wadamisaki Line

The Wadamisaki Line (和田岬線, Wadamisaki-sen) is a spur line of the San'yō Main Line, operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West). The line branches off from the San'yō Main Line from Hyōgo, connecting to Wadamisaki.

The line was opened on 8 July 1890 as a freight line for the transportation of construction material for the section between Hyōgo and Himeji. Passenger services commenced in 1911. In 2011, the line was brought up for closure by the city of Kobe due to the line blocking city developments and transportations by ships. In 2024, JR West commented that it has no intentions to close the line without strong consensus from locals.

The branch line consists of only two stations, serving commuters to the factories of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the Mitsubishi Electric. Trains manufactured in the Kawasaki Railcar Manufacturing's Hyogo factory pass the line to be delivered elsewhere.
