The Shinjohara Station ( Japanese 新 所 原 駅 , Shinjohara-eki ) is a train station on the Japanese island of Honshū , operated by the railway companies JR Central and Tenryū Hamanako Tetsudō . It is located in Shizuoka Prefecture, Kosai City area .

description

Shinjohara is a connecting station on the Tōkaidō main line operated by JR Central , one of the most important railway lines in Japan. From this the Tenryū Hamanako line branches off to Kakegawa , which is operated by the Tenryū Hamanako Tetsudō railway company. On the Tōkaidō main line, regional trains run two to four times an hour between Atami and Toyohashi , depending on the route section and time of day . Some of them are tied through Toyohashi in the direction of Nagoya . On the Tenryū-Hamanako line, the trains run at approximately hourly intervals, which are compressed to half-hourly intervals during rush hour. In the morning and in the evening they drive the entire route, while during the day there is an operational division in Tenryū-Futamata and you have to change trains there. The bus stop on the station forecourt is served by three lines of the city bus service.

The station is in the Shinjohara district and is the westernmost in Shizuoka Prefecture; the border with Aichi prefecture is a few hundred meters away. The facility is oriented from east to west and has six tracks, five of which are used for passenger traffic. Those of the Tōkaidō main line are located on two covered central platforms . The associated reception building has the shape of a riding station that spans the entire complex. An attached footbridge enables passage from the north to the south side without having to pass the platform barriers. The Tenryū Hamanako Line stops at a side platform on the north side and has its own small reception building.

In 2016, the station counted an average of 4,173 passengers a day.

history

The Tōkaidō main line had opened in 1888, but trains ran here without stopping for almost half a century. A change began to emerge in 1933 when the Ministry of Railways began building the Futamata line. The Shinjohara station was built near the junction and went into operation on December 1, 1936 along with the section to Mikabi. Three and a half years later, the continuous route to Kakegawa was completed.

For cost reasons, the Japanese State Railways stopped handling goods on April 26, 1971, and checked baggage on February 1, 1984. As part of the state railway privatization, the Futamata line went to the Tenryū Hamanako Tetsudō railway company and was renamed the Tenryū Hamanako Line . Two weeks later, on April 1, 1987, the part of the station on the Tōkaidō main line was owned by JR Central . The original station building on the north side no longer met the requirements and was replaced in 2012 by today's equestrian station, the opening ceremony of which took place on November 27, 2016.
