History

Itsukaichi Station opened on 8 December 1899 as a stop on the privately-owned Sanyō Railway between Koi (now Nishi-Hiroshima) and Hatsukaichi, in what is now Saeki Ward, Hiroshima. The Sanyō Railway was nationalised in 1906 and the route became part of the Sanyō Main Line in 1909. The station building was rebuilt in 1964 and converted to a bridge-style structure on 1 November 1986; in 1987 the adjacent Hiroden Itsukaichi Station of the Hiroshima Electric Railway Miyajima Line was relocated alongside, integrating the two operators. Itsukaichi became a JR West station upon Japanese National Railways privatisation on 1 April 1987. ICOCA was introduced in September 2007 and the staffed Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket counter closed in December 2022.

Notes

Itsukaichi is integrated with Hiroden's Hiroden-itsukaichi station on the Miyajima Line, which stands immediately alongside it and is linked to it by a free pedestrian passage, giving passengers a direct interchange between JR Sanyō Main Line services and the Hiroden tram network.
