History
Daimon Station (Hiroshima) opened on 26 December 1897 as a new stop on the San'yō Railway between Kasaoka and Fukuyama, handling both passengers and freight. It passed to the state railway on 1 December 1906 when the San'yō Railway was nationalised, and was designated part of the San'yō Main Line on 12 October 1909. Freight handling ended on 15 October 1960 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. At privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West, the Midori-no-Madoguchi staffed ticket office opened on 1 November 1992, ICOCA service began on 1 September 2007, and overhead crossing-bridges with elevators were added to both platforms on 31 August 2009. Following CTC conversion on 24 April 2016 LED departure boards entered service, the staffed window closed on 29 February 2020, and station numbering (JR-W12) was introduced in September of that year.
Notes
Daimon is the easternmost railway station in Hiroshima Prefecture. Its platforms lie on a curve, and the station formerly had a combined side-and-island layout of two platforms and three tracks; the extra track, used for turning back services such as the "Setouchi Marine View" sightseeing train, has since been removed.
