History

Hiroshima Port (Ujina) tram stop (U18) is the terminus of the Hiroden Ujina Line in Ujinakaigan 1-chōme, Minami-ku, Hiroshima. The Ujina Line first reached Ujina in 1915 as a tramway from Miyukibashi to a stop in front of Ujina Pier; after a 1935 realignment via Ujina-dōri, the terminus shifted to the present Motoujina-guchi. When postwar reclamation of the water west of the old west embankment was completed in 1951 and the Hiroshima Prefectural Pier opened on the new land, the line was extended 200 m west and the current stop opened on 1 April 1951 as Ujina-Shūten. It was renamed Ujina in 1960, moved 158 m further south on 1 October 1967 when the pier itself was relocated, double-tracked on 31 March 1976, and renamed Hiroshima Port (Ujina) on 1 November 2001. On 29 March 2003 the track was extended a further 100 m and the stop moved again, to face the new Hiroshima Port Ujina Passenger Terminal, which had been built 250 m west of the earlier terminal.

Notes

Hiroshima Port was the first Hiroden stop to label its terminal tracks A, B and C in alphabet rather than numbers — to avoid clashes with Hiroden's numbered route-system labels — a convention later carried over to the relocated Hiroden-Miyajima-guchi (July 2022) and Hiroshima Station (August 2025) terminals.
