History

Kumura Station opened on 15 April 1916 as a halt on the Geibi Railway. The line was nationalized on 1 July 1937, parcels handling ended with destaffing on 20 December 1971, and the stop entered JNR's Hiroshima City special-fare zone in May 1973. In March 1980 the alignment and station building were relocated to the foot of the Ōta River levee to eliminate a level crossing. The station passed to the West Japan Railway Company at the 1 April 1987 privatization of JNR. ICOCA-capable simplified gates were installed on 5 July 2007 and the card went live that September. Today it is an unstaffed halt with one side platform housed in a galvanized-steel-roofed prefab, raised above road level.

Notes

In May 2008 Japanese newspapers and television reported on two cats found sleeping on the station's automated ticket-gate machine; they were nicknamed the "Station Cats."
