history
The Shizutetsu opened the station on May 18, 1908 under the name Tsujimura ( 辻 村 ), together with a freight train a few hundred meters long to the Hatoba station in the east in the port area. From July 1st of the same year passenger traffic was added. Five months later, on December 9, 1908, the Shizutetsu extended the route to the center of Shizuoka. In 1918 the station was given the new name Ejiri-shindō ( 江 尻 新 道 ). The tram line, which opened on December 25, 1928, was connected to the tracks of the Shizuoka-Shimizu line from the start, allowing direct connections to Shizuoka city center.
On March 29, 1933 the station was renamed Shimizu-Aioimachi ( 清水 相 生 町 ). The oldest section of the line to Hatoba was no longer used from December 1, 1945 and was finally shut down in 1949, after which it was converted into a terminus station. The station has had its current name since October 1, 1954. One year after the tram ceased operations on July 7, 1974, the triangle was removed.
