history

The opening of the station by the state railway administration took place on September 1, 1888, together with the section Ōbu - Toyohashi - Hamamatsu of the Tōkaidō main line . For seven and a half months, Hamamatsu was the final stop, until the last missing section to Shizuoka was put into operation on April 16, 1889. The Ministry of Railways replaced the first station building in 1926 with a modernist new building based on the western model. However, this burned to the ground on June 10, 1945 in a US area bombing . For more than three years, passengers had to make do with barracks. The third station building, a two-story wooden structure, was put into operation on October 15, 1948.

Since the opening of the Tōkaidō-Shinkansen high-speed line on October 1, 1964, Hamamatsu station has been connected to the high-speed network. On April 26, 1971, the Japanese State Railways relocated part of the freight traffic to the newly opened Nishi-Hamamatsu freight yard, the rest on October 1, 1976. As part of the privatization of the state railways, the station became the property of the new company JR Central on April 1, 1987 . At that time, the construction of today's reception building, including the shopping center, was already in progress. Based on the opening date May 1, 1988, it was named MayOne . The MayOne Eki-machi West extension was opened on November 11, 2006, and the MayOne Eki-machi East section of the station on March 15, 2007.
