History

Aki-Yaguchi Station opened on 28 April 1915 as Yaguchi Station on the privately operated Geibi Railway in present-day Asakita Ward, Hiroshima. It was renamed Aki-Yaguchi at the nationalisation of the Geibi Railway on 1 July 1937, the "Aki" prefix distinguishing it from other Yaguchi stations elsewhere in Japan. Freight ended on 6 June 1961 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. JR West succeeded the JNR on 1 April 1987. A Midori-no-Madoguchi opened on 1 November 1992 and ICOCA was accepted from 1 September 2007. Barrier-free works completed on 17 March 2024; the ticket window closed on 31 May 2025 and remote intercom service began the next day.

Notes

Aki-Yaguchi is the busiest of all intermediate stops on the Geibi Line, sustained by the bedroom-community developments — Sugaoka, Suikōdai and Yaguchi-ga-Oka — that rose on the hillsides east of the station.
