Funairi-kawaguchi-cho

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

Funairi-kawaguchi-cho opened on 20 June 1944 with the extension of the Eba Line from Funairi-hon-machi to Funairi-minami-machi. Operating less than a year, it was suspended on 1 February 1945; in August that year the 6 August atomic bombing brought down the rest of Hiroden's city tram network. The Eba Line was restored in 1947 and this stop reopened on 1 November 1947. In March 2008 platform-lengthening work allowed articulated cars to call, and on 15 February 2013 Route 9 was extended from Hatchōbori to Eba and began serving the stop directly; refurbishment work — extending the platform shelter by some 20 metres and widening the platforms — was completed on 18 March 2013. The two low-floor platforms face each other across the two tracks on street-running track, with the down platform towards Eba on the east and the up platform towards Dobashi on the west. The stop carries number E04.

Funairi-kawaguchi-cho is well used because Hiroshima Municipal Funairi High School is close by, and the 2013 refurbishment extended the platform shelter by some 20 metres and widened the platforms in response to that demand.
