Companies
Although it was founded as a railway company, railway traffic only plays a subordinate role at Gakunan Tetsudō. A wholly-owned subsidiary called Gakunan Densha ( 岳南 電車 ), which was outsourced in 2013 , operates the Gakunan Line . This 9.2 km long railway line opens up industrial districts in the east of Fuji . Non-rail business sectors now form the company's core business and are far more profitable. On the one hand, there is the Daifuji Golf Club , an 18-hole golf course at the foot of the Fuji volcano . On the other hand, Gakunan Tetsudō has been active in the real estate industry since 1972 . There is also a small freight service with trucks.
history
On December 15, 1948, Gakunan Tetsudō was founded as a subsidiary of the railway company Izuhakone Tetsudō . This took one in the station Yoshiwara branching off siding of Nissan -Konzerns and converted it to 1953 in stages to Gakunan line out. As is common in Japan, the company began to diversify, opening the third oldest golf course in Shizuoka Prefecture in August 1954. On June 1, 1957, Gakunan Tetsudō came into the possession of the Fuji Kyūkō concern . The bus and coach services that had existed since 1966 were outsourced within the group to the Fujikyū Shizuoka Bus company in 1998 . Due to the cessation of rail freight transport in 2002, revenue on the Gakunan Line collapsed. Thereupon Gakunan Tetsudō decided to outsource the remaining rail traffic on April 1, 2013 to the subsidiary Gakunan Densha .
