==Overview==
==Lines==
Mikage Station is served by the [[Hanshin Main Line]], and is located 25.7 kilometers from the [[terminal station|terminus]] of the line at {{STN|Umeda}}.


=== Layout ===
==Layout==
The station consists of two elevated [[island platform]]s serving four tracks. Part of the platform crosses the Ishiya River. Since the platforms are on a sharp curve (radius 140m to 160m), the speed through the premises is limited to 35km/h. The gap between the stopped train and the platform is partially wide, and the width of the platform itself is narrow, making it a particularly dangerous station among Hanshin stations. Due to the narrow width of the platform, there is no waiting room. There is only one ticket gate on the ground level.
The station has four tracks with two island platforms elevated with an elevator each.
