Shin-Kōbe station (新神戸駅 Shin-Kōbe-eki?) is a railway station located on the Sanyō Shinkansen line serving the city of Kobe, Japan, and the surrounding area. It is located to the north of Kobe city centre, at the foot of Mount Rokkō. The Shinkansen trains mostly run inside tunnels under the mountains in this area. The station exists in a small space in between two long tunnels (Rokkō and Kobe Tunnels).
This station was newly built for the Sanyō Shinkansen and is connected with the city center by the municipal subway. Many Shinkansen passengers from central Kobe, however, use Shin-Ōsaka Station to the east instead of the closer Shin-Kobe Station, because Shin-Ōsaka Station is easily accessible by JR Kobe Line and more trains leave at Shin-Ōsaka for Tokyo, the capital of the country.
Two side platforms serving two tracks. Both platforms have platform screen doors.
One side platform serving one track and one island platform serving two tracks (one of which is single ended).
