The Seishin-Yamate Line (西神山手線 Seishin-Yamate-sen?) is one of two lines of Kobe Municipal Subway that links the central district and suburbs of Kobe. It is sometimes called U-Line after its shape on maps.
All trains are based at Tanigami and Myōdani Depots.
A fleet of new trains is to be introduced on the line between fiscal 2018 and 2022. Built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, the design of the new trains will be overseen by Ken Okuyama Design.
