Tōjō Station, railway station in Shobara, Hiroshima prefecture, Japan
Tōjō Station is a small railway station in the town of Shōbara in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. It features a simple building, a single platform, and basic facilities including a shelter and wooden benches for waiting passengers.
The station opened on November 25, 1930, during a period when railway networks were expanding across Japan. It remains part of the Geibi Line and has served generations of residents as a connection to larger towns and markets.
The station's name reflects the Tōjō community and appears on signs in Japanese characters. Local residents use it as part of their daily routine, arriving on foot or by bicycle and gathering on simple wooden benches to wait for trains.
The station is located near National Route 182 and is accessible by car. It is staffed during morning hours but operates unattended later in the day, so travelers should check train schedules in advance.
The station originally had two tracks and two platforms, but only one remains in use. The second platform still stands but is separated from the first by a footbridge that is no longer passable.
