History
Shin-ichi Station is a JR West Fukuen Line stop in Shin-ichi-chō Shin-ichi, Fukuyama, Hiroshima, with part of the station property extending into Nakasu-chō, Fuchū. It opened on 21 July 1914 with the inauguration of the Ryōbi Light Railway, which was renamed the Ryōbi Railway on 26 June 1926; that company was nationalized on 1 September 1933, and the station became a Japanese Government Railways Fukuen Line station. The line was regauged to 1,067 mm on 14 December 1935, after which freight traffic in Bingo-gasuri textiles peaked in the 1950s. It became a contracted station with freight services abolished on 10 December 1970, parcels were abolished on 1 November 1986, and it passed to JR West on 1 April 1987 with the JNR privatization. The ticket window closed and the station became fully unstaffed on 1 April 2009.
Notes
Although the station's official address is in Fukuyama City, part of its site extends across the municipal boundary into Nakasu-chō in Fuchū City. Kibitsu Shrine, the ichinomiya of the former Bingo Province, stands near the station.
