Kakegawa is a separation station through which two of Japan's most important railway lines, the Tōkaidō Shinkansen and the Tōkaidō Main Line , run parallel. Both connect Tokyo with Nagoya and Osaka , and the JR Central railway company is responsible for their operation . The Tenryū Hamanako line of the regional railway company Tenryū Hamanako Tetsudō branches off the Tōkaidō main line .

On the Shinkansen high-speed line , Kakegawa is usually served twice an hour in each direction by Kodama trains, which stop at all intermediate stations. Hikari and Nozomi trains don't stop. Regional trains on the Tōkaidō main line run three to five times an hour between Atami and Toyohashi , depending on the route section and time of day . There are also home liners ( ホ ー ム ラ イ ナ ー ) from Numazu to Hamamatsu , express trains with reserved seats during peak traffic. On the Tenryū-Hamanako Line, trains run to Tenryū-Futamata and Shinjohara every approximately half-hour or hourly .

Bus terminals are located on both the north and south of the station forecourt. There are more than a dozen bus routes operated by Shizutetsu Justline , Kakegawa Bus Service and JR Tōkai Bus as well as the city bus service.

The station is located immediately south of the city center and faces east to west. The facility has twelve tracks, seven of which are used for passenger traffic, and consists of three parts. On the southern edge, the Shinkansen station is elevated on a viaduct with four tracks and two side platforms , whereby high-speed trains can pass through the middle tracks without stopping. A wide underpass creates a connection between the two station forecourts and the station section on the Tōkaidō main line. This comprises three tracks on a middle platform and on the # house platform . Both are also connected to the reception building on the north side via a covered bridge . The Tenryū Hamanako Tetsudō line has its own terminus on the northwest side of the facility, consisting of two tracks on a central platform. Another underpass on the east side enables a connection between the two station forecourts without having to pass the platform barriers.

In 2016, the station counted an average of 11,853 passengers a day.

history

On April 16, 1889, the state railway administration opened the station, along with the Shizuoka - Hamamatsu section of the Tōkaidō main line . For over four decades it was a through station . This changed on April 17, 1935 when the Ministry of Railways opened the first section of the Futamata line to Enshū-Mori. Four years later the route reached Shinjohara . For cost reasons, the Japanese State Railways stopped handling goods on January 21, 1984, and checked baggage on March 14, 1985. Due to the upcoming privatization of the state railway, the continued existence of the Futamata line was endangered, but the Tenryū Hamanako Tetsudō , a newly founded railway company of the third sector , took over the route on March 15, 1987 and renamed it Tenryū Hamanako Line . The station on the Tōkaidō main line went two weeks later, on April 1, 1987, in the possession of the new company JR Central .

The Tōkaidō Shinkansen , the world's first high-speed line, opened in 1964 and ran right past the station, but no trains stopped here for over two decades. The city repeatedly requested a connection to the high-speed network, but was only able to establish itself after several attempts. Finally, the Shinkansen station opened on March 13, 1988. The wooden station building on the north side, built in 1940, was not earthquake-proof . After a temporary structure was built right next to it at the end of 2012, it was demolished in May 2013 and rebuilt from the ground up in July 2013, adapted to the legal requirements for earthquake safety. The historical appearance was retained. On January 26, 2014, it was able to be put back into operation.
