Ajina-higashi

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Ajina-higashi Station (M36) is on the Hiroden Miyajima Line in Ajina 1-chōme, Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima. It opened on 1 February 1931 as Ajina Station, on the same day the Miyajima Line was completed in full. The line was originally built double-track, but in 1944 the down line on the Hatsukaichi–Miyajima section — including the stretch through this station — was lifted to scavenge rails for the Minami Line then under construction in Hiroshima, and a passing loop was added here; double-track service was restored in 1950. The station was renamed Jigozen-Kenbyōin-mae in 1954 to advertise the Prefectural Jigozen Hospital that had opened nearby in June 1951, reverted to Ajina on 1 March 1972 when the hospital closed, and took its present name on 1 November 2001 to free up the Ajina label for the neighbouring Tajiri Station's rename to Hiroden-Ajina.

Both platforms here still keep the abandoned high-floor platform edges at their Hiroden-Miyajimaguchi end — relics of the dedicated railway cars that once operated only within the Miyajima Line.
