Lines

Shōbara Station is served by the JR West San'in Main Line, and is located 373.0 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Kyoto.

Station layout

The station consists of two opposed side platforms connected to the station building by a footbridge. The outer side platform was originally an island platform, but due to the San'in Line speed increase project, the outer track on the island platform was removed. Most of the trains arriving at and departing from this station stop on the side of the station building, which eliminates the need to cross the footbridge. The station is unattended.
