History
Ato Station opened on 24 November 1935 on the Kure Line in the city of Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the stop came under the control of JR West. It is served by the JR West Kure Line and sits 48.7 kilometres from the line's terminus at Mihara. The unattended station consists of two ground-level opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge, and serves a small surrounding community that includes the municipal Ato Elementary School.
