Koiki-koen-mae

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

Kōiki-kōen-mae Station is the terminus of the Hiroshima Rapid Transit Astram Line, located in Asaminami-ku, Hiroshima. It opened on 20 August 1994. The station serves Hiroshima Big Arch stadium and Hiroshima Shudo University, the latter giving rise to the secondary name "Shudo University Mae". It became a stop for the express service introduced on 20 March 1999, which was then abolished on 20 March 2004 — after which all trains call again. PASPY was introduced on 8 August 2009. A plan to extend the line to Nishi-Hiroshima Station remains, and a short stretch of elevated track beyond the platforms still exists but currently functions only as a turnback siding.

Trains do not simply reverse at this terminus: arriving services discharge passengers on platform 1, run forward into the unused stub track beyond the station, then back into platform 2 to depart toward Hondōri.
