history
As soon as the state railroad decided to run the Tōkaidō main line via Gotemba, the place experienced a rapid upswing, because due to the scenic location between the volcanoes Fuji and Hakone , many wanted to benefit from the upcoming tourism boom. The section from Kōzu via Matsuda , Gotemba and Numazu to Shizuoka was opened on February 1, 1889. The opening ceremony was very modest; The night before, a major fire had destroyed several hundred buildings (the railway systems themselves were spared). The Gotemba horse-drawn railway (gauge 762 mm) opened on November 11, 1898, connected the station with villages in the area. After several extensions, it had a length of 17.3 km and was in operation until 1928.
The station suffered a major loss of importance with the opening of the new line via Atami on December 1, 1934, which drew the entire national traffic of the Tōkaidō main line on itself. The old mountain route over Gotemba was only a branch line of local importance and was given the new name Gotemba Line . Due to an agreement between the Japanese State Railways and the private railway Odakyū Dentetsu , the latter began to run express trains from Gotemba to Tokyo-Shinjuku on October 1, 1955 . Diesel multiple units also operated on the Gotemba line from 1955 . It was electrified in two stages: on April 27, 1968 between Gotemba and Kōzu and on June 1 of the same year between Gotemba and Numazu.
For cost reasons, the State Railroad abandoned cargo handling on November 15, 1982, and on February 1, 1984, it also stopped checking in luggage. It replaced the original station building with a new building that opened on March 21, 1987. 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 . One day earlier, JR Freight resumed freight traffic, but finally stopped it on April 1, 2006 and dismantled the neighboring freight yard.
In a small park north of the station one is since 2010 a Tender - steam locomotive series D52 on permanent display.
