Shiwaguchi Station (志和口駅, Shiwaguchi-eki) is a
Higashihiroshima, despite there being no shuttle bus or other connection between the two locations. This station should not be confused with other stations of similar-sounding name on the Geibi Line: Shimowachi, Shiomachi, and Shiwachi. Even though Shiwaguchi Station is an express stop station, the Miyoshi Liner
does not stop here due to lack of passengers using the station.
