description
Kikugawa is a through station and former connecting station on the Tōkaidō main line operated by JR Central , one of the most important railway lines in Japan. Regional trains run two to five times an hour between Atami and Toyohashi , depending on the route section and time of day . Additional home liners (ホ ー ム ラ イ ナ ー), express trains with reserved seats , run between Numazu and Hamamatsu during peak traffic periods .
The station is in the Horinouchi district, on the northern edge of the city center. The facility is oriented from east to west and has five tracks, three of which are used for passenger traffic. These are located on a covered central platform and on a side platform . A covered overpass connects the central platform with the reception building on the south side of the facility. There is also an underpass as a connection between the station forecourt and the northern parts of the city. Four Shizutetsu Justline bus routes use the bus stop in front of the reception building. Another four lines of the Kikugawa city bus service run from another stop about a hundred meters away.
In 2016, the station counted an average of 4,225 passengers a day.
history
The state railway administration opened the station on April 16, 1889, together with the Shizuoka - Hamamatsu section of the Tōkaidō main line . In the first decades of its existence it was called Horinouchi ( 堀 ノ 内 ). From August 1, 1899, the station was the northern starting point of the Horinouchi Railway , an overland tram to Omaezaki . Initially operated as a horse-drawn tram , it was converted to diesel operation in 1923 and finally replaced by a bus route on May 10, 1935.
Two years after a municipal merger, the station was given its current name on April 10, 1956. For cost reasons, the Japanese State Railways stopped handling goods on March 1, 1975, which also ended operations on the siding to an Asahi Tec plant. On March 14, 1985, baggage check-in was no longer offered. 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 .
