Location
History
Hozumi Station opened on 1 August 1906 as a new stop on the Japanese Government Railways Tōkaidō Line between Gifu and Ōgaki. The surrounding line was elevated on a raised embankment when double-tracking was completed in 1908. A wooden station building was erected on the south side in March 1929 and replaced by the current third-generation structure in October 1985. Freight services ceased in March 1997, ten years after the station passed to JR Central at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR. Hozumi became the principal station of the new city of Mizuho when surrounding towns merged in May 2003, and TOICA IC cards arrived in November 2006. The station was unstaffed on 1 February 2024.
Notes
Hozumi has more daily passengers than any other Gifu Prefecture station except Gifu, Ōgaki, Meitetsu Gifu, and Tajimi, yet it lags well behind fourth-place Tajimi.
