History
Midorii Station opened on 25 December 1910 in present-day Asaminami Ward, Hiroshima, when the Dai-Nippon Kidō Hiroshima Branch Line (today's Kabe Line) was extended from Furuichibashi. Successive transfers — Kabe Tramway (1919), Hiroshima Electric (1926) and Hirohama Railway (1931) — were followed by nationalisation in 1936. The station was demoted to a halt in December 1935 but restored as a full station the following year. JR West inherited it on 1 April 1987. A passing loop was installed and the side platform converted to an island on 27 February 1994; when Ōmachi station opened on 20 August 1994 new turnback services were introduced. The Midori-no-Madoguchi closed on 22 April 2022, and on 1 August 2024 the on-site staffing was replaced by remote intercom service.
