Until 1997, Amagasaki was only a local stop, but it has since become a major junction with the opening of the JR Tōzai Line. Today, all commuter trains and Fukuchiyama-bound limited express trains, stop here.
Amagasaki is the official terminal of the Fukuchiyama Line and the JR Tōzai Line, but no trains originate from here. Trains of the Fukuchiyama Line continue east to Osaka and beyond on the Tōkaidō Line or connect with the Gakkentoshi Line through the JR Tōzai Line.
