History

Kamiōtsuki Station opened on 19 June 1929 as Ōtsukibashi Station on what is now the Fujikyuko Line in Ōtsuki, Yamanashi Prefecture. It was renamed Kamiōtsuki in 1934 and lies just 0.6 kilometres from the line’s terminus at Ōtsuki, where it interchanges with the JR Chūō Main Line. Suica acceptance began on 14 March 2015. On 17 May 2019 the operator added the secondary name Tsuru-Kōkō-mae (“In Front of Tsuru High School”), and on 1 April 2022 operation transferred from Fuji Kyuko to its spun-off rail subsidiary Fujisan-Roku Electric Railway. The unstaffed station has a single side platform serving one bi-directional track, with no station building — only a small waiting room sharing design cues with the adjacent high school.

Notes

The platform waiting room was co-designed by Yamanashi Prefectural Tsuru High School and the railway operator, then Fuji Kyuko, deliberately echoing the school's own buildings — white walls, abundant timber and a large round clock. The station also carries the secondary name Tsuru-Kōkō-mae ("In Front of Tsuru High School").
