Location

History

Gendōji Station began as the Gendōji halt on 25 December 1930 on the privately operated Fuji-Minobu Railway, in what is now Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture. When the line was leased to the national government on 1 October 1938 the stop was upgraded to a full station handling passengers and freight, and the Fuji-Minobu Railway was formally nationalised on 1 May 1941. Parcel handling ended on 1 March 1971, the same year the Fuji to Fujinomiya section was double-tracked. The station was destaffed on 10 April 1983, and in 1999 the original wooden building was demolished and replaced by a small shelter. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Central, and TOICA service began on 13 March 2010.

Notes

The platform straddles the point where the Yumisawa River passes beneath the tracks, and that middle section of the platform is carried on the steel railway bridge over the stream.
