Shichikenjaya Station (七軒茶屋駅, Shichikenjaya-eki) is a JR West Kabe Line station located in Midorii, Asaminami-ku, Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.
The station building is located on the right bank (west bank) of the Furukawa River, a tributary of the Otagawa River. On the west side, there is a mountainous area from Mt. Gongen (397 m above sea level) to Mt. Abu (Hiroshima Prefecture) (586 m above sea level), and there are few plains around the station. Some of the residential areas on the west side of the station are lined up on slopes facing the mountains, and this slope is thought to be an alluvial fan formed by repeated accumulations of earth and sand from past debris flows.[9] Prefectural highway and National highway run parallel to the Kabe line on the east side of the station. In particular, roadside stores are located along the national highway, making it a major commercial area.
Shichikenjaya Station features one side platform handling one bidirectional track. The station is unmanned, and contains an automatic ticket machine.
