Ebisu-cho (Hiroshima)

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

Ebisu-cho opened on 23 November 1912 as Kami-nagarekawa-cho on the day Hiroden's Main Line first ran between Hiroshima Station and Kamiya-cho, taking its name from the then-name of the surrounding district. It was renamed Nagarekawa-cho at an unrecorded later date and was suspended after the 6 August 1945 atomic bombing; the Hatchobori - Yamaguchi-cho section of the Main Line resumed service on 1 October 1945. Hiroshima City rezoned the district from Kami-nagare-cho to Ebisu-cho on 1 April 1965 and the stop's name was changed to match. Station number M6 was assigned in October 1996 and the number was changed to M04 on 3 August 2025. The platforms are dog-legged across the intersection, with the up-side toward Hiroshima Station on the western side and the down-side toward Kamiya-cho on the eastern side.

Ebisu-cho stands only 123 metres from neighbouring Hatchobori. Hiroshima's Shintenchi entertainment district is close by, with Yagenbori-dōri and Nagarekawa-dōri leading to it, and when the Hiroshima Flower Festival or the Tōkasan festival is held the normally unstaffed stop is given temporary attendants.
