Tie ni trovis alian petveturanton, la 16-jaraĝan Takumi, provantan atingi Kobe-on. Li ricevis multajn donacojn de la japanoj. Li ankaŭ provis helpi nin; ni provis kun li antaŭ la vendejo dum kelkaj minutoj, poste invitis lin provi nian metodon ĉe la elirejo de la benzinstacio, sed mi kredas, ke la manko de komunikado kun preterpasantoj senkuraĝigis lin, kaj li decidis preni la buson. Ni atendis plian duonhoron ĝis ni sukcesis trovi iun irantan al la sekva "S.A."―Jurobola

Ni uzis ŝildon, kiu diris Himeĝi, kaj renkontis iun irantan al Kobe. Ni petis ilin lasi nin ĉe stacio sur la sama vojo antaŭ ol efektive eniri Kobe, ĉar ni iris al Kioto. Ni dormis ĉe tiu stacio, malantaŭ la arbustoj apud la benzinpumpilo, tre kviete, preskaŭ neniu eĉ rimarkis. Tre bone.―Jurobola

By first sight it really seems a bad spot, as it is described above. However, it worked out quiet well. I just had to wait for 20 mins. This spot works for both directions.―Anonymous

Might seem like a poor spot because there is little place for cars to stop, but I did manage to find a ride here. Plus, it's very easy to access from central Kobe. This road leads right up to the Hanshin expressway, both directions.―Anonymous

Lots of cars but access is tricky. The gate from the underpass path has a do not enter sign and there are people around so it could be frowned on.―Eric

Small parking area. There is a gate blocking off the entrance but I was unlocked.―LostBoi

At first I was worried that the spot was gonna be bad because it really doesn't seem like cars could stop anywhere. BUT: after only 2 minutes I got a ride to himeji with a very kind family.They stopped their car in a road parallel to the onramp, so if you attract cars from the main road, they will have a chance to stop there and reenter onto the highway, so don't worry.
I even got help from the local firefighters at their building just down the road, one of them walked me all the way to the point and explained me where to go and what to write on my sign.
If you need the bathroom, further down the road there is a gas station with a clean bathroom, so your needs should be covered.
I recommend this spot, even though it seemed sketchy at first.
Edit: on my sign I wrote 姫路方面 which means "towards himeji"
You can ask your ride to drop you of at the next SA, or service area (サービスエリア)
