History
Ashimori Station opened on 15 November 1904 when the privately operated Chūgoku Railway inaugurated its Kibi Line. The station is located in Kita-ku of Okayama city, 13.4 km from the southern terminus at Okayama, and was nationalised on 1 June 1944 when the Chūgoku Railway's rail division was absorbed by Japanese National Railways. With the JNR breakup on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR West, and ICOCA card support began on 1 September 2007. The current station building was rebuilt in February 2020. A single side platform serves one bidirectional track, and the station is unattended.
