Hakushima (Hiroshima Rapid Transit)

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

Hakushima Station opened on 20 August 1994, to coincide with the opening of the Hiroshima Rapid Transit Hiroshima New Transit Line 1 (Astram Line). It is located in Hakushima-kitamachi, Naka-ku, Hiroshima City, and near the adjacent Shin-Hakushima Station the line transitions from elevated to underground. When express trains were newly introduced in the timetable revision of 20 March 1999, the station was initially treated as a train-passing (non-stop) station, but with the abolition of the express service in the 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 2001, 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, and its station color is yellow-green.

Hakushima on the Astram Line is about a kilometre from the identically named Hakushima tram stop, the terminus of Hiroshima Electric Railway's Hakushima Line; the two are not directly connected.
