History

Shudai-kyoso-chuko-mae opened on 4 July 1941 as Jissen-jogakko-mae ('Practice Girls' School Front'), named for the Hiroshima Commercial Practice Girls' School established that April by Hiroshima Gas Electric Tramway (Hiroden's predecessor) as part of its 30th-anniversary projects. Following that school's evolution — to Hiroshima Practice High Girls' School in 1943, the addition of Suzugamine Girls' Professional School and Suzugamine Girls' Middle School in 1947, and Suzugamine Girls' Senior High School in 1948 — the station's name has been changed accordingly: Suzugamine-josen-mae around 1 April 1947 and Suzugamine-joshidai-mae around 1 April 1950 (when the professional school became Suzugamine Women's Junior College). The 'Suzugamine' name comes from Mt. Suzugamine and was carried through into the operating foundation, renamed Suzugamine Gakuen in 1951, which long had close ties with Hiroden and Hiroshima Gas. After Suzugamine Gakuen merged with Shudo Gakuen on 1 April 2015 — at which point the junior college stopped recruiting and the middle and high schools were renamed Hiroshima Shudo University-affiliated Suzugamine Girls' Junior and Senior High School — the station became Shudaifuzoku-suzugamine-mae. When the schools turned co-ed and became Hiroshima Shudo University Hiroshima Kyoso Junior and Senior High School on 1 April 2019, the station was renamed on the same day to its present Shudai-kyoso-chuko-mae. The station is a 2-platform/2-track ground-level stop, with both platforms equipped with ramps and handrails (barrier-free). The station carries number M26.

Notes

The level crossing just east of Shudai-kyoso-chuko-mae, on the Hiroden-nishi-hiroshima side (shared with the parallel JR West Sanyo Main Line and known as Suzugamine Crossing), is one of the 'always-closed crossings' identified by Japan's national transport ministry as requiring urgent attention because of its high pedestrian volume and long closure times; Hiroden widened it in September 2008, but casualty accidents including fatalities have continued, prompting ongoing safety-awareness campaigns.
