San'yō Main Line
Encyclopedia
The is the JR main railway line in western Japan, connecting Kobe Station and Moji Station
, largely running parallel the coast of the Inland Sea, in other words the southern edge of western Honshu
. The Sanyō Shinkansen
line runs largely parallel to its route since 1972. The name Sanyō derived from the ancient region and highway Sanyōdō, the road on the sunny (south) side of the mountains.
The Sanyō Main Line is operated by the two JR companies West Japan Railway Company
(JR West) and Kyushu Railway Company
(JR Kyushu). The Wadamisaki Line
, a short section of line in length of 2.7 km between Hyōgo
and Wadamisaki
stations in Kobe is technically part of the Sanyō Main Line. Also a short section connecting to Kitakyūshū Freight Terminal is included into Sanyō Main Line.
between the 1880s and 1901. The section between Hyōgo Station
(in Kobe
) and Akashi Station (in Akashi, Hyōgo
) opened first in 1888. In 1889 the line was extended to the east to Kobe Station and Tatsuno Station (in Tatsuno
, Hyōgo Prefecture
) to the west. The Sanyō Railway was gradually extended to the west, and finally in 1901 it reached Bakan Station, the current-day Shimonoseki Station. Under the Railway Nationalization Act
of 1906 it was purchased by the Japanese government and renamed Sanyō Main Line.
The Sanyō Main Line runs mainly along the Inland Sea but some parts could be shortened by tunnels. In 1934, the Gantoku Line
between Iwakuni
and Tokuyama (today Shūnan, Yamaguchi
) was opened and replaced the former line which runs through Yanai
along the Inland Sea. In 1944, this new alignment was replaced again by the previous coastal alignment because the coastal line was upgraded to two tracks, as a part of track duplication between Kobe and Shimonoseki.
The Sanyō Main Line was connected to Kyūshū
by ferry from Shimonoseki and Shimonosekiko Station (Port Shimonoseki). In 1942, the Kanmon Tunnel
under the Kanmon Straits
was completed and the Sanyō Main Line was extended to Moji Station.
Except for the Wadamisaki Line, the entire line was electrified in 1964, the year the Tōkaidō Shinkansen
opened between Tokyo
and Osaka
. Between Shin-Ōsaka Station through Ōsaka Station
many expresses ran on the Sanyō Main Line and it serves as a means of transport running through Western Honshu and connecting to Kyushu
. The Shinkansen was extended as the Sanyō Shinkansen line. It was extended first to Okayama Station
in 1972 and then to Hakata Station
in 1975. In both occasions many expresses were made obsolete. Since 1972, the Sanyō Main Line has been mainly used by local and freight services.
