History
Sunami Station opened on 19 March 1930 as the terminus of the Sankō Line when the line reached it from Mihara, in the city of Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture. The line was extended further to Aki-Sakizaki on 28 April 1931, leaving Sunami as an intermediate stop, and the route was incorporated into the Kure Line at the 1935 revision of line names. Freight handling was discontinued in 1960 and the station became simple-consigned in 1970; it passed to the West Japan Railway Company at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. ICOCA has been accepted since 2007, the station was destaffed in 2012, and its station building was demolished in November 2018.
Notes
Sunami records the lowest passenger volume of any station on the Kure Line.
