History
Hamagōchi Station opened on 1 June 1957 as a new station on the Onoda Line branch between Suzumeda and Nagato-Motoyama, in San'yō-Onoda, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It has been unstaffed since opening and has no station building — only a single ground-level side platform with a small shelter on it. JR West succeeded JNR with the 1 April 1987 privatisation. The branch carries only morning and evening trains, and the platform sits 1.3 km from the junction at Suzumeda, surrounded by a hamlet of houses and fields with no large-scale facilities.
Notes
Average daily ridership in fiscal 2020 was just seven passengers, reflecting a branch timetable on which trains call only in the morning and evening.
