Location
History
Hamakanaya Station opened on 11 October 1916, on what is now JR East's Uchibō Line in Futtsu, Chiba Prefecture; it is the westernmost station in the prefecture. Freight handling was discontinued on 26 May 1969. The station passed to East Japan Railway Company at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, and Suica became usable on 14 March 2009 when the station was added to the Tōkyō suburban area. The Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket counter closed on 31 July 2023. Today the station has a single island platform serving two tracks, with a wooden station building on the Kanaya port side reached by a footbridge.
Notes
The Tokyo Bay Ferry terminal at Kanaya Port is about five minutes' walk from the station, and the Sanroku (base) station of the Nokogiriyama Ropeway is close by.
