History

Hiroshima Port (Ujina) tram stop (U18) is the terminus of the Hiroden Ujina Line in Ujinakaigan 1-chōme, Minami-ku, Hiroshima. The Ujina Line first reached Ujina in 1915 as a tramway from Miyukibashi to a stop in front of Ujina Pier; after a 1935 realignment via Ujina-dōri, the terminus shifted to the present Motoujina-guchi. When postwar reclamation completed in 1951 and the Hiroshima Prefectural Pier opened on what is now reclaimed land, the line was extended 200 m west and the current stop opened on 1 April 1951 as Ujina-Shūten. It was renamed Ujina in 1960, moved 158 m further south on 1 October 1967 when the pier itself was relocated, double-tracked on 31 March 1976, and renamed Hiroshima Port (Ujina) on 1 November 2001. In 2003 it was moved again, this time 100 m south, to face the new Hiroshima Port Ujina Passenger Terminal.

Notes

Hiroshima Port was the first Hiroden stop to label its terminal tracks A, B and C in alphabet rather than numbers — to avoid clashes with Hiroden's numbered route-system labels — a convention later carried over to the relocated Hiroden-Miyajima-guchi (July 2022) and Hiroshima Station (August 2025) terminals.
