The Minobu Station ( Jap. 身延駅 , Minobu-eki ) is a train station on the Japanese island of Honshu , operated by the railway company JR Central . It is located in Yamanashi Prefecture, Minobu City area .
description
Minobu is a through station on the Minobu Line from Kofu to Fuji . Seven pairs of trains on the Fujikawa express train ( ふ じ か わ ), which connects Kofu with Shizuoka , stop here every day . There are also regional trains every one to two hours . Three local bus lines stop on the station forecourt, and a long-distance bus line operated by Chūō Kōsoku Bus on the nearby main road .
The station is in the Tsunouchi district, wedged between the western slope of Mitsushi-yama Mountain and the Fuji River . Originally it was not in the area of the city of Minobu, but on that of the neighboring community of Okawauchi, which merged with Minobu in 1955. The facility is oriented from north to south and has six tracks, three of which are used for passenger traffic. They are located on the main platform and on a partially covered central platform , which is connected to the station building on the west side of the facility by an underpass . The three remaining tracks are used to park trains.
About four kilometers away is the Kuon-ji , the main temple of the Nichiren-shū Buddhist school , which is why the Minobu train station has an above-average number of users.
history
The private railway company Fuji Minobu Tetsudō ( 富士 身 延 鉄 道 ) opened on May 18, 1920 the section between Kai-Ōshima and Minobu. The planned extension towards Kofu was delayed, so that the station was the terminus for seven and a half years. Half a year after it was electrified, the line was extended to Ichikawa-Daimon on December 17, 1927, until it finally reached the prefecture capital three months later.
On October 1, 1938, the Minobu line was leased by the state and taken over by the Ministry of Railways on May 1, 1941 . In 1980 the Japanese State Railways replaced the original station building with a new building. On January 16, 1984, it stopped freight transport (transport of gravel and cement ). 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 .
