Ashigara (Shizuoka)

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

The site has been in use since 20 January 1903, when the government railways opened Ashigara Signal Station between Suruga-Oyama and Gotemba on the Tōkaidō Main Line. It was renamed a signal stop in 1922. It lost its main-line status on 1 December 1934 when the Tanna Tunnel diverted Tōkaidō trains via Atami and the Kōzu–Numazu route became the Gotemba Line. Local residents campaigned for a passenger stop, and the signal stop was upgraded — moved 1.4 km towards Suruga-Oyama — to Ashigara Station on 15 September 1947. JR Central took over in April 1987, TOICA service began in March 2019, and a Kengo Kuma–designed building opened on 13 July 2020.

The 2020 station building was designed by Kengo Kuma and shares its premises with the Ashigara branch office of the Oyama town hall, doubling the station as a community centre.
