History
Bingo-Honjō Station opened on 1 February 1940 on the Fukuen Line. The site lay off the route of the line's predecessor, the private Ryōbi Railway; after the government bought that line out, the present Yokoo–Fukuyama section was newly built in 1935, and the station followed five years later. The stop sits 1.8 kilometers from the Fukuyama terminus in Hiroshima Prefecture. With the dissolution of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to the West Japan Railway Company, and it was destaffed on 1 April 1991. Originally built with two opposed side platforms, the eastern side was retired after Yokoo Station's passing loop was restored, and the disused platform has since been planted with cherry trees. The current simple station building was added when ICOCA wickets were installed in 2007.
Notes
The retired eastern platform has been planted with sakura trees, and the National Railways-era station name sign — repainted in its original design for the Fukuen Line's 2014 centenary — still stands there.
