Koami-cho

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

Koami-cho opened on 8 December 1912 when the Main Line between Kamiya-cho and Koi came into service, located in Sakai-machi 2-chōme, Naka-ku. The stop was suspended on 10 June 1944 during the Pacific War; it reopened on the Koi - Koami-cho section on 15 August 1945, days after the 6 August atomic bombing, and the Koami-cho - Dobashi section followed on 19 August. With the neighbouring Dobashi stop only about 200 metres away and the stop's structure unusually simple (no protected platforms, just a marked area on the road), abolition was considered in the 1970s but was overturned by petitions from local residents. Station number M14 was assigned in October 1996 and changed to M13 on 3 August 2025.

Koami-cho is the only Hiroden stop without a fenced boarding island; the surrounding street is only 15 metres wide, so the boarding zone is simply a yellow-green area outlined in white on the road surface, and on-board announcements remind passengers to mind the step. Because the up-bound boarding zone has nowhere suitable to post notices, the timetables, stop nameplate and route maps for both directions are all mounted on a utility pole beside the down-bound boarding zone.
