Yokogawa Station (横川駅 Yokogawa-eki?) is a JR West station located in Yokogawa-cho, Nishi-ku, Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. The station services the Sanyō Main Line, Kabe Line and Hiroden Yokogawa Line.
Yokogawa Station features two island platforms and one side platform capable of handling five lines simultaneously, as well as the Yokogawa Station Tram Stop located directly south of the main station building. The tram stop features a large roof covering the stop in order to provide shelter from the rain and shade from the sun. The roof extends to the main Yokogawa Station building. The first omnibus used in Japan is housed in a museum-like display at the station (see photos on right). The station formerly had tram tracks between platforms 2/3 and 4/5, but these have since been removed.
