Yokoo Station (横尾駅, Yokoo-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the West Japan Railway Company (JR West).[1]
Lines
Yokoo Station is served by the JR West Fukuen Line, and is located 6.1 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Fukuyama.
Station layout
The station consists of two parallel side platforms connected to the station building by a footbridge. The former station building was used as the Yokoo Town Community Center until the end of the 1980s, but it was dismantled when the community center was remodeled into the current one near the station. It also originally had an island platform; however, the width was too narrow, so a second platform was constructed by the station entrance, resulting in the current configuration. The station is unattended.
Platforms

2 | ■ Z Fukuen Line | for Kannabe and Fuchū |
History
