Location

History

Fujioka Station opened on 1 August 1944 on the Gotemba Line to provide access to the Imperial Japanese Army's Fujioka Heavy Artillery School, and was initially restricted to military personnel; civilian use began on 11 November 1944. The station originally sat on a switchback, which was eliminated when the line was electrified in 1968 and the platform realigned, leaving a vestigial side track as evidence. The original side platform was rebuilt as an island platform in 1989. JR Central inherited the station from JNR on 1 April 1987, and station number CB12 was assigned in March 2018.

Notes

A side track north of the platforms is the surviving stub of the switchback removed when the Gotemba Line was electrified in 1968.
