Kambara

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

When the Tōkaidō Main Line between Shizuoka and Kōzu opened in 1889, lobbying by neighbouring Iwabuchi meant the area's first station opened as Iwabuchi (today's Fujikawa) rather than in Kambara. After local protests, Kambara Station was opened on May 16, 1890 at the former Segizawa village, midway between Kambara-juku and Yui to keep the station spacing even. A station closer to the old post town was not added until Shin-Kambara opened on October 1, 1968. Freight handling ended in 1974 and parcel service in 1985. The station passed to JR Central at privatisation on April 1, 1987, joined the TOICA IC card area in 2008, received the station number CA11 in March 2018, and became unattended on June 1, 2025 with the introduction of the customer-support service.

The long-running dispute over where to site the station meant the old post town gained a station of its own only in 1968, when Shin-Kambara opened 2.4 km along the line; ridership at the new station overtook Kambara almost immediately.
