Location

History

Higashi-Shizuoka Station opened on 30 October 1998 as part of the Higashi-Shizuoka district new urban centre development project, on land freed when the former Higashi-Shizuoka Freight Terminal was downsized and relocated about one kilometre east in 1993 (renamed Shizuoka Freight). The neighbouring Shizuoka Convention and Arts Centre (Granship) opened the following year. The station is built around a single 240 m-long island platform under an elevated overbridge that spans the parallel Tōkaidō Shinkansen tracks immediately to the south; the north–south passageway, which is fitted with a moving walkway, received the fiscal 1998 Tanaka Prize. TOICA service began on 1 March 2008. Station numbering as CA16 was introduced in March 2018.

Notes

The station's north–south passageway, which crosses the Tōkaidō Shinkansen tracks and is fitted with a moving walkway, received the fiscal 1998 Tanaka Prize.
