Kinosaki Onsen Station
Lines
Kinosaki Onsen Station is served by the San'in Main Line and is 158.0 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Kyoto. The station is the dividing point between the electrified segment of the line up to Kyoto, and the non-electrified segment down to Hōki-Daisen. This is the farthest along the line that any regularly scheduled train from Kyoto will go (except the Hakuto Limited Express, which stops at Tottori Station but avoids the San'in Line for much of its route). Passengers wishing to continue onward must change trains at this station.
The station is also the departure point of an aerial tramway to the summit of Mount Daishi.
