History
Uozaki Station opened on the Hanshin Main Line on 12 April 1905, just east of the Sumiyoshi River in Higashinada-ku, Kobe. Trains run east to the Hanshin terminus at Osaka-Umeda and west toward central Kobe, with a number of limited express services continuing along the Sanyo Railway as far as Himeji. The station is partially elevated, with two side platforms serving two tracks and equipped with lifts, escalators and waiting rooms. Service was suspended by the Great Hanshin earthquake of January 1995 and took seven months to restore. Station numbering as HS-25 was introduced on 21 December 2013.

Notes
A covered walkway links the Hanshin station to the adjacent Uozaki station on the Rokko Liner, a driverless people-mover that opened on 21 February 1990 and runs to the artificial Rokko Island.
