History
<nowiki>Nishi-Hiroshima Station was opened on 25 September 1897 as Koi Station (己斐駅) on the San'yo Railway, when the line was extended from Hiroshima to Tokuyama. The line was nationalised in 1906 and became the San'yo Main Line in 1909. The station name was changed to "Nishi-Hiroshima Station" in 1969. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan railway Company (JR West). The new station building started construction in 2019 and was opened for service on 19 December 2022.[2]
