Location
History
Shichikenjaya Station opened on 25 December 1910 in present-day Asaminami Ward, Hiroshima, when the Dai-Nippon Kidō Hiroshima Branch Line (today's Kabe Line) was extended from Furuichibashi toward the Ōtagawa Bridge. The line passed through several operators — Kabe Tramway (1919), Hiroshima Electric (1926) and Hirohama Railway (1931) — before being nationalised on 1 September 1936. JNR became JR West on 1 April 1987. The station moved roughly 100 metres toward Hiroshima on 15 March 2008, simultaneously gaining a four-car-length platform and becoming unstaffed. ICOCA was accepted from 1 September 2007. A landslide-driven August 2014 flood suspended service between Midorii and Kabe stations until 31 August.
Notes
The name records that there were once seven (shichi) tea houses (chaya) at this spot.
