history
The state railway administration opened the station on April 16, 1889, together with the Shizuoka - Hamamatsu section of the Tōkaidō main line . Although it was named after the city of Fujieda, it was located in the territory of the neighboring municipality of Aojima, which was independent until 1954. Hida Hamagoro, a high-ranking official of the Imperial Court Office , died eleven days after the opening in an accident: After a toilet break in the station, he wanted to jump on the departing express train and was run over. This accident led to trains with toilets running for the first time shortly afterwards.
On November 16, 1913, the local railway company Tōsō Tetsudō opened the first section of an overland tram , which was later known as the Sun'en Line and was operated by the Shizuoka Tetsudō . The Shin-Fujieda ( 新 藤枝 ) tram stop near the train station existed until August 1, 1970. For cost reasons, the Japanese State Railways stopped handling goods on November 1, 1986. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the ownership of the new company JR Central on April 1, 1987 . The previous station building was replaced by a new building in September 2006 after a two-year construction period.
