Fujiyamashita

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

Fujiyamashita Station opened on 10 November 1928 with the rest of the Jōmō Electric Railway's Jōmō Line. It sits in the Aioi district of Kiryū, Gunma Prefecture, 23.7 kilometres from the line's western terminus at Chūō-Maebashi, and consists of a single unattended side platform. The name means "foot of Mount Fuji" and refers to a small 160-metre hill north-west of the station, also called Fujiyama, that hosts an Asama Shrine and is part of the regional Fuji-worship tradition. The station is about 130 kilometres in a straight line from the famous Mount Fuji on the Shizuoka–Yamanashi border.

When the famous Mount Fuji gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 2013, the station became a minor curiosity: it shares identical kanji with the mountain but is around 130 kilometres away. Google made a 2014 search-app commercial featuring tourists who arrived here by mistake.
