Mikage Station (御影駅 Mikage-eki?) is a train station on the Hankyu Railway Kōbe Main Line in Higashinada-ku, Kobe, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.
History
The station opened on July 16, 1920, simultaneously with the opening of the Kobe Main Line.[2]
Layout
The station has two side platforms serving two tracks. The south ticket gate is underground and connected with each platform by each stairs and each elevator. The north gate is accessible and is directly connected to the east-bound platform.[3]

West of the station is a short siding between the two tracks for train up to six cars. From April 7, 1968 to February 14, 1998, trains of Sanyo Electric Railway operated on the Hankyu line between Sannomiya and Rokkō used this siding to change the direction. Presently it is regularly used by out-of-service trains (forwarding of additional cars for peak hours).[4]
