Inako (Shizuoka)

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Inako Station opened on 15 August 1929 as a passenger-and-freight stop on the privately built Fuji Minobu Railway. The Railway Ministry leased the line from 1 October 1938 and nationalised it on 1 May 1941, when Inako became a stop on the Minobu Line. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1961, parcel handling on 20 September 1972, and the station was made unstaffed on 1 October 1973. It passed to JR Central at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. The wooden station building survived into the 1990s and was later replaced by a compact concrete shelter housing only a waiting area; tickets cannot be bought at the station.

Inako is a quiet station in the hamlet of Shimoinako, where daily boardings have fallen from about 100 through the 1990s to an average of nine in fiscal 2021. The station is unstaffed and is managed from Fujinomiya Station.
