History

Gion-shinbashi-kita Station is a station of the Hiroshima Rapid Transit Hiroshima New Transit Line 1 (Astram Line), located in Nishihara 4-chōme, Asaminami-ku, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture. It opened on 20 August 1994. When express trains were introduced in the timetable revision of 20 March 1999, the station became a train-passing (non-stop) station, but when the express service was abolished in the timetable revision of 20 March 2004, all trains began stopping there again for the first time in five years. It became a contracted-operation station in 2000, and PASPY was introduced on 8 August 2009. In 2015 the on-site announcement system and platform departure indicators were upgraded to equipment equivalent to that at Shin-Hakushima Station. It is an elevated station with one island platform and two tracks, with the ticket machines and gates located one floor below the platform.
