Location

History

Hikuma Station opened on 6 December 1909 as Shimanosato Station on the Enshū Railway Line, in what is now Chūō-ku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture. It was renamed Enshū-Shimanosato around April 1923, then Enshū-Hikuma on 1 November 1951 to reflect changes in the surrounding municipal place-name. When the line through the station was elevated on 24 November 2012 and the station building rebuilt, the prefix was dropped and the station took its current name. The station lies 3.4 kilometres from the start of the line at Shin-Hamamatsu; the current configuration is two opposed elevated side platforms serving two tracks, the station is staffed during daylight hours, and its station code is ET06.

Notes

Before the line was elevated in 2012, Hikuma was an unstaffed ground-level station with a single side platform and no station building — just a ticket machine and an air-conditioned waiting room on the platform itself.
