The Fujinomiya station ( Jap. 富士宮駅 , Fujinomiya-eki ) is a train station on the Japanese island of Honshu , operated by the railway company JR Central . It is located in Shizuoka Prefecture in the Fujinomiya City area .
description
Fujinomiya is a through station on the Minobu Line from Kofu to Fuji . Seven pairs of trains on the Fujikawa express train ( ふ じ か わ ), which connects Kofu with Shizuoka , stop here every day . Between Fuji and Nishi-Fujinomiya, the train station immediately west of Fujinomiya, three regional trains run every hour, four times an hour during rush hour. They run every one to two hours beyond Nishi-Fujinomiya. The train station is an important hub for regional bus transport. A bus terminal with more than a dozen bus routes operated by Fujikyū Shizuoka Bus and Yamakō Town Coach is located on the northern forecourt of the station . Two more lines run from the southern station forecourt.
The station is located in the central district of Chūō-chō and faces east to west. It has five tracks, three of which are used for passenger traffic. These are located on a side platform and a central platform , both of which are covered. The station building has the shape of a riding station that spans the entire facility at its western end. A wide pedestrian bridge crosses the main street in front of the train station and the bus terminal on the northern forecourt. At the eastern end of the facility, another covered overpass connects the central and side platforms. The line is single-track to the west of Fujinomiya station, and double-tracked to the east.
In 2016, the station counted an average of 2358 passengers a day.
history
From 1890 the paper company Fuji Seishi operated a horse-drawn tram from Yoshiwara on the Tōkaidō main line to near today's train station. It had a track width of 609 mm and, in addition to the local mail and passenger traffic, was mainly used to transport wood to the paper mill in Yoshiwara. The private railway company Fuji Minobu Tetsudō ( 富士 身 延 鉄 道 ) opened the line between Fuji and this station on July 20, 1913 , which was initially named Ōmiya-chō ( 大 宮 町 ). At the same time the horse-drawn tram was shut down. The station was the terminus for almost two years until the extension to Shibakawa opened on March 1, 1915; the completion of the entire route to Kofu dragged on until 1928. In June 1927 it was electrified.
The Minobu line was leased by the state on October 1, 1938 and taken over by the Ministry of Railways on May 1, 1941 . After a community merger, the Ōmiya-chō station was given the new name Fujinomiya on October 1, 1942. The double-track expansion of the line between Fujinomiya and Fujine was completed on March 28, 1971. In 1983 the Japanese State Railways replaced the original station building with a new building. For cost reasons, it stopped handling goods on January 16, 1984, and checked baggage on March 14, 1985. 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 .
Since the early 1960s, Fujinomiya has been the destination of numerous special trains that had been chartered by the Buddhist lay movement Sōka Gakkai . The believers went from the train station to Taiseki-ji , the main temple of the Nichiren Shōshū school. After Sōka Gakkai was excluded in 1991, the number of special trains decreased massively, since since then only members of the much smaller Hokkekō lay movement have used this offer. As a result, the parking facility west of the train station remains largely unused.
