The Shin-Shizuoka Station ( Jap. 新静岡駅 , Shin-Shizuoka-eki ) is a train station on the Japanese island of Honshu , operated by the railway company Shizuoka Tetsudo . It is located in Shizuoka Prefecture in the field of city Shizuoka , more precisely in the district Aoi-ku .
description
Shin-Shizuoka is the western terminus of the 11.0 km long Shizuoka-Shimizu Line . This is operated by the Shizuoka Tetsudō (Shizutetsu) railway company and leads to Shin-Shimizu station in the Shimizu-ku district . During the day the trains run every six to seven minutes, during the morning rush hour every three to seven minutes and in the evening every quarter of an hour. In addition, there are several express trains during the morning rush hour, which skip several intermediate stations.
The terminal station is in the central district Takajo, a few hundred meters from the sunpu castle and from the train station Shizuoka Station. It is fully integrated into the nine-story Shin Shizuoka Cenova shopping mall . This is owned by a subsidiary of Shizutetsu and, with over 150 shops and a multiplex cinema, is the largest facility of its kind in the city. The railway system on the north side of the ground floor has three tracks on two central platforms . There used to be a track connection to the Shimizu tram . Shizuoka's central bus station , located on the south side of the ground floor, is also integrated into the shopping center . It is the terminus of several dozen bus routes, most of which are operated by Shizutetsu Justline , which belongs to the same group .
In 2016 the station counted an average of 18,891 passengers a day.
history
The Shizutetsu opened the station on December 9, 1908 under the name Takajōmachi ( 鷹 匠 町 ), together with most of the route to the then independent town of Shimizu . From June 28, 1922, the tracks of the railway line were directly connected to those of the newly opened tram. The station was given its current name on October 1, 1954. When the tram was shut down on September 15, 1962, the track connection was also discontinued. In the era of the economic boom, the Shizutetsu strove to make better use of the station area. For this reason, the Shin Shizuoka Center shopping mall , which opened on May 15, 1966, was built above the tracks ; The central bus station had already been put into operation five days earlier.
After more than four decades, signs of aging began to appear. Then there was the problem of the lack of accessibility . For these reasons, the Shizutetsu decided to completely rebuild. The Shin Shizuoka Center was closed on January 31, 2009 and then demolished. A new shopping mall called Shin Shizuoka Cenova was built in its place . The project also included the renovation of the station area from March 2010, with rail operations continuing uninterrupted throughout the construction period. The newly built shopping center and the converted train station opened on October 5, 2011, and the new bus station followed six days later.
