History

Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station with the name Mishō Station (御庄駅) on 1 November 1960 as an intermediate station during the construction of the then Gannichi Line (岩日線, Gannichi-sen) from Kawanishi to Kawayama. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR West which then ceded control to Nishikigawa Railway on 25 July 1987.[3][4] On 16 March 2013, it was renamed Seiryū-Shin-Iwakuni Station to emphasize the connection with the nearby shinkansen station.[2]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2011, the station was used by an average of 77 passengers daily.[1]
