history

The state railway administration opened the station on February 1, 1889, together with the Shizuoka - Kōzu section of the Tōkaidō main line (part of which corresponds to today's Gotemba line ). At first the station was named Suzukawa ( 鈴 川 ). He is also described under this name in the novel Shirobanba by Yasushi Inoue . On 26 June 1890, the paper group took Fuji Seishi the Fuji Pferdebahn ( 富士馬車鉄道 , Fuji Basha tetsudō ) into operation. It led from Suzukawa to Ōmiya (today Fujinomiya ) and, in addition to the local mail and passenger traffic, was mainly used to transport wood to the paper mill next to the train station. The last remaining section was closed on July 6, 1914. In 1939, the paper company was Daishowa Seishi (now Nippon Paper Group ), a siding to his work embarrassed.

On November 18, 1949, the private railway company Gakunan Tetsudō opened the first section of the Gakunan line ; a little more than three years later the route was completed. The station was given its current name Yoshiwara on April 10, 1956. That year, the Japanese State Railways replaced the station building with a new one, and on March 14, 1985, they stopped checking in luggage for cost reasons. As a result of the privatization of the state railway, the main part of the station went into the possession of the new company JR Central on April 1, 1987 , while JR Freight was now responsible for freight traffic. In 1994, JR Freight limited itself to handling containers and on March 17, 2012, freight traffic was completely stopped.
