History
Funairi-machi opened on 26 December 1943 as Funairi-naka-machi when Hiroden's Eba Line first ran between Dobashi and Funairi-hon-machi. Service was suspended on 1 February 1945 during the Pacific War and reopened on 1 November 1947; the stop was renamed Funairi-machi around 1952. In March 2008 a platform-lengthening project allowed articulated cars to use the stop, and on 15 February 2013 Route 9 was extended from Hatchobori to Eba, bringing direct service to Funairi-machi. The two platforms are staggered north-south across the carriageway, with the up-platform towards Dobashi on the north and the down-platform towards Eba on the south; both are long enough to handle articulated cars. The stop carries number E01.

Notes
Funairi-machi sits between the Tenma-gawa river to the west and the Honkawa channel of the old Ota River to the east, and the stop's name comes from the broader Funairi district whose 'Funairi' (ship-entrance) historically refers to the canals that linked the area's wharves to Hiroshima Bay.
