Location
History
Maya Station opened on 26 March 2016 on the Tōkaidō Main Line (JR Kobe Line) in Nada-ku, Kobe, taking its name from nearby Mount Maya. JR West formally announced the project on 2 October 2015 and bore essentially all of the JPY 4 billion construction cost. Station numbering as JR-A59 was introduced in March 2018. Only all-stations local services stop here. The single island platform sits beneath an elevated station building staffed full-time, with three elevators and three escalators. Solar panels on the roof and a regenerative-braking power-recovery system — the first of its kind on JR West — supplement the station's electricity supply.
Notes
Maya Station is JR West's first installation of a system that captures regenerative braking energy from passing trains to supplement station power.
