History

JR West first notified the city of Himeji of its proposal to build a new station between Gochaku and Himeji in July 2010.^[3] Details of the new station were formally announced by JR West on 2 October 2015.^[4] While the most popular name voted for in the public ballot held to select the new name was actually Shirasagi (or Hakuro) (白鷺), popular names for Himeji Castle, the second-place name of Higashi-Himeji was ultimately chosen by JR West, as this was deemed less likely to cause confusion among tourists who might mistakenly assume that the station was the closest to Himeji Castle.^[2] The total construction costs of JPY 2.7 billion were shared equally by JR West, the city of Himeji, and the national government.^[4]

Passenger statistics

The station is expected to be used by an average of approximately 6,000 passengers daily.^[5]
