Location

History

Daikanchō Station opened on 16 September 1965 as a stop on the Ōigawa Railway main line, near the administrative centre of the former Kanaya township (now part of Shimada, Shizuoka). The station has a single side platform with a log-cabin–style wooden station building, and is located 3.8 km from the line's terminus at Kanaya. Services were suspended from 17 August 2003 after a landslide in the Kamio Station yard. On 1 October 2023 the station became a stop for the newly introduced section-express service.

Notes

Despite sitting at the administrative heart of former Kanaya — beside the former town hall, the library and sports facilities — Daikanchō sees very few users, in part because so few trains call there; a Shimada City community bus supplements transport in the surrounding area.
