Shimo-Gion Station ( 下祗園駅 or 下祇園駅 Shimo-Gion-eki ? ) is a JR West Kabe Line station located in 4-chōme, Nagatsuka, Asaminami-ku , Hiroshima , Hiroshima Prefecture , Japan . The station name on the building uses an older kanji for the "gi" ( ), but in most current publications it is listed as shown above (祗 or 祇).

Shiwaguchi Station ( 志和口駅 Shiwaguchi-eki ? ) is a JR West Geibi Line station located in Ibara, Shiraki-chō, Asakita-ku , Hiroshima , Hiroshima Prefecture , Japan . The "Shiwa" in the name derives from the nearby Shiwa-chō, Higashihiroshima , despite there being no shuttle bus or other connection between the two locations. This station should not be confused with other stations of similar-sounding name on the Geibi Line: Shimowachi , Shiomachi , and Shiwachi . Even though Shiwaguchi Station is an express stop station, the Miyoshi Liner does not stop here due to lack of passengers using the station.
