Shikama Station - Himeji

An important transfer station that branches to Himeji, Akashi / Kobe / Osaka, and Aboshi All trains are stopped and station staff are also resident There is also a commuter pass sales office Access to the north side of the station became very convenient thanks to the completion of the north exit on March 27, 2022. The toilet is located behind the ticket gate, and there is also a private toilet for wheelchairs. An elevator is also installed, which is helpful when you have large luggage, but it is difficult to find the elevator from the ticket gate (in the back of the passage to the toilet) Please note that the stop position differs depending on the train organization. Many passengers get on and off during commuting hours Especially the summer port festival fireworks display is very crowded There are banks and credit unions around the bank on the north side of the station, and there are many street parkings, resulting in a chaotic situation. Even at night, pick-up cars are parked on the street around the cram school on the north side of the station, so be careful when passing. About nearby facilities It takes about 10 minutes on foot to Himeji River City It is not a walking distance to the funeral hall of the Kazuma Yamato Kaikan, but it is safer to go by taxi from the western taxi stand. 5 minutes walk east from the station to Jinno Hospital In addition, it is within walking distance of Shikama Police Station, Shikama Civic Center, Shikama Library, etc. There is a police box on the north side of the station (1 minute walk)

Is the station building under construction? I was impatient because there was a place where the floor of the aisle was about to come off

It's a spacious station. No one is crazy. It's a calm place. I often eat Sanyo soba. It is carefully made one by one. Kisaku Auntie has a good impression!

I often use it. Sanyo Electric Railway is very convenient because it is close to Himeji Station and is directly connected to JR.

It is a transfer station for the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line and Aboshi Line. The island-shaped platform for the main line has the shape of a line of the Aboshi line cut in from the Himeji side, which is a U-shape. Therefore, when changing trains, you can change planes in both directions. The direct limited express also stops.

One of the main stations of Sanyo Electric Railway. It is called "Shikama" station. Although it is a limited express stop, there is no regular car meeting. It is a transfer station for the main line and the Dentetsu line. I have a long impression from the ticket gate because I have to climb the stairs and cross the bridge to get to the platform. In front of the ticket vending machine, there is a machine for instant ID photos and a collection post for books that are "not good for youth", and there are places that are Showa-like. The road in front of the station is not wide, and it gets crowded when a few cars stop. The atmosphere around the station is also Showa, which is different from Himeji. Sanyo soba inside the station is delicious.

It is a transfer station for the Sanyo Main Line and the Amirai Line, and the second line in the middle has an irregular two-sided, three-line structure with Sannomiya head-end type. There is a garage on the west side, the station yard is large, and it is also characteristic that there is a station side. The atmosphere has a strong Showa scent. Since the wiring structure from the 2nd line to the Amirai line has to straddle the down main line, there seems to be some restrictions on the timetable construction.

To board the boat bound for Iejima, get off at this station and head south to the port. It is a sacred place to admire Mr. Chokitsu Kurumani.
