Saeki-Kuyakusho-mae

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

Saeki-kuyakusho-mae Station opened on 27 March 1987, a station petitioned for by Hiroshima City and built between Hiroden-itsukaichi and Rakurakuen the same day that Hiroden-itsukaichi was relocated 250 metres east — its construction cost paid by the city. Saeki Ward had been newly established two years earlier in 1985 when Itsukaichi-cho, Saeki District, was incorporated into Hiroshima City. The station is a ground-level 2-platform/2-track stop with the platforms staggered across a level crossing in the middle; from the line's origin the up-side platform towards Hiroden-nishi-hiroshima is on the near side and the down-side platform towards Hiroden-miyajima-guchi sits beyond the crossing. The up-platform retains a section of high-floor platform at its Hiroden-nishi-hiroshima end, a vestige of the dedicated 'railway-type' high-floor cars that once ran on the Miyajima Line. The station carries number M28.

Saeki-kuyakusho-mae is a petitioned station: Hiroshima City asked Hiroden for it and paid the construction cost itself. It opened on 27 March 1987, filling the long gap left between Hiroden-Itsukaichi and Rakurakuen when Hiroden-Itsukaichi was relocated that same year, and it is named for the Saeki Ward office two minutes' walk to the south — a ward that had existed only since 1985, when Itsukaichi-cho in Saeki District was absorbed into Hiroshima City.
