History
Hashima-shiyakusho-mae Station opened on 1 April 1929 as the original Takehana Station on the Meitetsu Takehana Line, in today's city of Hashima, Gifu Prefecture. It was renamed Nishi-Takehana Station on 1 January 1951 in tandem with the original Sakaemachi Station reverting to the Takehana name. The station became Hashima Station on 1 April 1959, then took its present Hashima-shiyakusho-mae ("Hashima City Hall front") name on 11 December 1982. Freight handling ended in fiscal 1965, the building was rebuilt in October 1995, and an elevated rebuild between this station and Egira on 30 October 2005 shifted the platforms eastward. The station was fully de-staffed on 23 December 2023.
