The Kanasashi Station ( Jap. 金指駅 , Kanasashi-eki ) is a train station on the Japanese island of Honshu , operated by the railway company Tenryū Hamanako tetsudō . It is located in Shizuoka Prefecture in the Hamamatsu City area , more precisely in the Kita-ku District .

description

Kanasashi is a through station and former connecting station on the Tenryū Hamanako line of the Tenryū Hamanako Tetsudō railway company , which connects Kakegawa with Shinjohara . Regional trains usually run at an approximate hourly rate, which is condensed into half-hourly intervals during rush hour. In the morning and in the evening, the trains run the entire route, while there is an operational division in Tenryū-Futamata during the day and changes must be made there. There is an Entetsu Bus stop in front of the station .

The station is in the Inasachō-Kanasashi district, on the northern edge of the Miyakoda Valley. The facility is oriented from east to west and has three tracks, two of which are used for passenger traffic. These are located on a central platform that is connected to the station building on the north side by a level crossing . The water tower , the goods shed and the platform roof have been listed as a registered material cultural asset since 2011 .

history

The Hamamatsu Tetsudō ( 浜 松 鉄 道 ) took the station on November 30, 1914 into operation. This happened together with the opening of the Motoshiro – Kanasashi section of the Okuyama Line , a small railway with a gauge of 762 mm. Kanasashi was the final destination for thirteen months, until the opening of the subsequent section to Kigaguchi on December 28, 1915.

From the mid-1930s, the Ministry of Railways began operating the Kapspurie Futamata line in stages . From Mikabi in the west it reached Kanasashi on April 1, 1938. For a little more than two years this was the terminus until the opening of the section to Enshu-Mori on June 1, 1940. Thus Kanasashi had become a connecting station; However, there was no connection between the two routes due to different gauges.

After a merger, the Enshū Tetsudō took over the Okuyama line on May 1, 1947, but put it down on November 1, 1964, making Kanasashi again a pure through station. A branching off at the station siding was until 1984 in operation, leading to a cement plant of Sumitomo Osaka Cement . For cost reasons, the Japanese State Railroad stopped handling goods on March 14, 1985. As part of the state railway privatization, the new railway company Tenryū Hamanako Tetsudō took over the Futamata line on March 15, 1987 and renamed it Tenryū Hamanako Line .
