history
After a southern route of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen over the mountains near Suzuka was given up, mainly for technical and financial reasons, the need for a train station in Gifu Prefecture arose : In order for the winter snow conditions in the area around Sekigahara in the west of Gifu and the To be prepared for the resulting operational disruptions, four sidings were set up in addition to the tracks that were operated according to the schedule. When choosing the location of the train station within the prefecture, the local politician Ōno Bamboku negotiated for the prefectural administration with the then state-owned railway company JR and achieved that the city of Gifu was not bypassed more widely. The Gifu-Hashima station is therefore also seen as a politician 's station. A bronze statue of Ōno, who died in 1964, and his wife was placed in front of the train station.
The Shinkansen station is connected to neighboring Gifu through the private Meitetsu , but in practice Nagoya Station, about 20 minutes away by train from Gifu Station, is the more convenient way to get on the Shinkansen trains for most residents of Gifu.
Gifu-Hashima station opened on October 1, 1964. On December 11, 1982, the Shin-Hashima station was opened on the still rural station forecourt as a new connection between the Meitetsu-Hashima line and the nearby Takehana line, but traffic between Gifu-Hashima and Gifu remains relatively sparse.
