History
Shimofukawa Station opened on 28 April 1915 with the inauguration of the Geibi Railway; the line's ground-breaking ceremony three years earlier had been held on its future site. The line was nationalized on 1 July 1937, and the stop was placed inside the Hiroshima City special-fare zone in May 1973. The present station building dates from March 1983. With the dissolution of JNR on 1 April 1987 it passed to the West Japan Railway Company. A Midori no Madoguchi staffed counter opened in October 1996 and closed on 30 September 2023; in March 2024 on-site staffing was replaced by intercom-based remote service. It is the largest of the Geibi Line's three Fukawa stops, and handles many trains daily.
