[edit] Platforms
The construction of overhead lines for old line has been taken in Himeji Station and the neighborhood section since 1989. On March 26, 2006, platforms for the JR Kobe Line and Sanyo Main Line switched to the elevated railway, while the remainder of the platforms, for the Bantan and Kishin Lines, were elevated beginning on 22 December 2008. Removal of ground platforms and the remainder of reconstruction work is planned to conclude in 2010.

[edit] History
Himeji Station was opened by Sanyo Railway (山陽鉄道, Sanyō Tetsudō?), the present day Sanyō Main Line, in 1888. At the time, railway stations were usually built either outside or alongside urban areas,[1] but Himeji Station was built bordering the old city walls, at the end of the main street (Ootemae-dori). The current Sanyo Railway Station is actually constructed on top of part of the old city wall.[2] It is thought that the reason was that the army was based in Himeji Castle. This proximity to the city helped to contribute to urban development.[3]
Himeji Station was linked to Bantan Railway (播但鉄道, Bantan Tetsudō?), the present day Bantan Line, in 1894. Kishin Line was linked to the station in 1930.
The station was expanded with the opening of the Sanyō Shinkansen in 1972, and today, travel to Tokyo takes less than three-and-a-half hours.
