Tio Maiko

Maiko Station in the Tarumi district of Kōbe, Japan, is an important stop on the JR Sanyō Main Line, operated by the West Japan Railway Company. The station has an island platform connected to the station building by a pedestrian bridge, and it offers a staffed ticket window. The station first opened in 1896 as a provisional stop and was upgraded to a regular station in 1906. Its location is especially striking, directly beneath the imposing Akashi Kaikyō Bridge, which passes over the tracks. Nearby you'll also find Hyogo Prefectural Maiko Park, the Sun Yat-sen Memorial, and the historic Akashi Domain Maiko Battery, making the area an appealing starting point for exploring both culture and scenery.
