Fuji is a separation station on the Tōkaidō Main Line , one of the most important railway lines in Japan. From this the Minobu line branches off in the direction of Kofu . Both lines are operated by the company JR Central , on the former JR Freight carries out freight traffic. Since the opening of the Shin-Fuji station two kilometers to the southeast on the Tōkaidō-Shinkansen high-speed line in 1988, the number of express trains stopping in Fuji has been significantly reduced.

Seven pairs of trains on the Fujikawa ( ふ じ か わ ) express train , which connects Kofu with Shizuoka , stop every day . There are also the night trains Sunrise Izumo ( サ ン ラ イ ズ 出 雲 ) and Sunrise Seto ( サ ン ラ イ ズ 瀬 戸 ). Regional trains run on the Tōkaidō main line, depending on the section and time of day, three to six times an hour between Atami and Shizuoka. On the Minobu Line, regional trains run three times an hour from Fuji to Nishi-Fujinomiya (four times an hour during rush hour) and every one to two hours to Kofu.

The train station is an important hub for regional bus transport. A bus terminal with two dozen bus routes operated by Fujikyū Shizuoka and Fuji Community Bus is located on the northern forecourt of the station . Five other bus lines (including to Shin-Fuji station) and long-distance buses run from the southern forecourt.

The station is in the central district of Honchō and faces east to west. It has twelve tracks, six of which are used for passenger traffic. These are located on three partially covered central platforms . The northernmost platform is reserved for trains on the Minobu line, its tracks end bluntly in the east . The other two platforms are used by trains on the Tōkaidō. There are six sidings on the south side of the facility . The station building has the shape of a riding station that spans the two northern platforms. On both sides there are wide pedestrian bridges, which cross a station forecourt on the north and south sides.

JR Freight operates a container terminal with two loading and five shunting tracks on the north side immediately east of the passenger station. They are not electrified, which is why diesel locomotives have to be used. Mainly paper products from Nippon Paper are loaded here, but also food additives, ink, automotive parts and industrial waste. Another parking facility with nine tracks is located about one kilometer west of the passenger station.

In 2016, the station had an average of 8333 passengers a day.

history

When the Shizuoka - Kōzu section of the Tōkaidō main line was opened in 1889, both Suzukawa and Iwabuchi (now Yoshiwara and Fujikawa) received a train station, but the village between Kashima did not. The residents of Kashima petitioned the building of their own train station. They received political support from the influential Ōji Seishi concern , which was planning to build a large paper mill in the immediate vicinity. The state railway authority was convinced and opened the Fuji station on April 21, 1909, named after the nearby volcano Fuji . On April 17, 1910, the Fuji horse tram ( 富士 馬車 鉄 道 , Fuji Basha Tetsudō ) took a branch line to the station in operation. The private railway company Fuji Minobu Tetsudō ( 富士 身 延 鉄 道 ) continued the expansion of the station into a traffic junction, opened the first section of the Minobu line to Fujinomiya on July 20, 1913 and at the same time shut down the horse-drawn tram that was taken over in the meantime.

The state leased the Minobu line extended to Kofu on October 1, 1938, and the Ministry of Railways took it over on May 1, 1941. Ten years later, the paper company was Daishowa Seishi (now Nippon Paper Group ), a siding to his work embarrassed, 1964, replacing Japanese National Railways the station building by a new building. As part of the expansion of the double lane between Fuji and Fujinomiya, the Minobu line was given a new route. From September 28, 1969, it no longer approached the station from the east, but from the west. The old route was transformed into a two-kilometer-long, park-like promenade called Fuji Green Road . In August 1971 the container terminal was opened .

For cost reasons, the state railway stopped checking in luggage on November 1, 1986. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the possession of the new company JR Central on April 1, 1987 , while JR Freight was now responsible for freight traffic. At the end of 2009, the ASTY Fuji shopping center integrated into the station was opened.
