Location
History
Kameyama Station opened on 25 December 1890 with the Kansai Railway's extension from Tsuge to Yokkaichi. The Kansai Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1907 and the line became part of the Kansai Main Line under the 1909 line-name regulations. The current (second) station building was completed on 3 November 1913. At its peak in the JNR era Kameyama was a major railway hub, with a locomotive depot, a carriage and wagon depot, a track maintenance district and a conductors' depot on site and just under a thousand staff. The opening of the Ise Line in 1973, a shortcut bypassing Kameyama, diverted most of the express services to and from Nagoya onto that route, and after the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station became the boundary between JR Central and JR West — with JR Central handling station operations. The last limited express, the Kii, was withdrawn in 1984; the express Kasuga, the last through service between the two JR companies, was discontinued on 18 March 2006, after which every regular train terminates at Kameyama. IC card use began on the Nagoya side with TOICA on 2 March 2019 and on the Kamo side with ICOCA on 13 March 2021.
Notes
Among the nine JR Central conventional-line stations that lie on a boundary with another JR company, Kameyama is the only one where JR Central — rather than the connecting company — manages the station, a legacy of its transfer from the Tennoji to the Nagoya Railway Management Bureau on 1 March 1987 just before privatisation.
