Location

History

Fujieda Station opened on 16 April 1889 with the completion of the Tōkaidō Main Line between Shizuoka and Hamamatsu, originally located in Aoshima Village before the city of Fujieda existed. Just eleven days after opening, an Imperial Household Ministry official was killed trying to jump aboard a departing train, an incident credited with prompting the line's first onboard toilets on 10 May the same year. Fujieda became an interchange on 16 November 1913, when the Tōsō Railway — whose line later became the Shizuoka Railway's Sunen Line — opened its Fujieda-shin Station nearby. The station was rebuilt as an overhead structure on 20 July 1975, scheduled freight and parcel handling ended on 1 November 1986, and JR Central took over from JNR on 1 April 1987. A new north-south concourse and overhead station building were completed in stages between 2005 and 2007, and TOICA service began on 1 March 2008.

Notes

An accident at Fujieda eleven days after the station opened, on 27 April 1889, in which a senior Imperial Household Ministry official died trying to jump aboard a moving train, is credited with prompting the Tōkaidō Main Line to fit onboard toilets for the first time, on 10 May 1889.
