Location

History

The station was established on 1 June 1958 as Entetsu Hamamatsu Station, then the southern terminus of the Enshū Railway Line, formed by merging two earlier stations. On 1 December 1985 the line was elevated and the new station was relocated and renamed Enshū-Byōin-mae Station after the Enshū General Hospital that stood in front of it. In April 2007 the hospital moved a short way from the station front and was itself renamed Enshū Hospital, and the station was renamed Enshūbyōin Station to reflect the change. The station became unstaffed on 13 January 2015, and accessibility upgrades were completed on 31 October that year.

Notes

Although the Enshū Hospital from which the station takes its name moved away from the station front in April 2007, the railway kept the hospital reference in the station's name, renaming it from Enshū-Byōin-mae to Enshūbyōin rather than dropping the connection.
