Kanasashi

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

Kanasashi Station was first opened on 30 November 1914 by the narrow-gauge Hamamatsu Light Railway, later absorbed into the Enshū Railway's Okuyama Line. A separate station of the same name opened on 1 April 1938 as the terminus of the JNR Futamata-West Line, which was extended to it from Mikkabi that day; the line was extended onward to Enshū-Mori on 1 June 1940, completing the through route between Kakegawa and Shinjohara. The adjacent Okuyama Line spur closed in 1964, and freight service on the JNR line ended in March 1985. On 15 March 1987 the station passed to the third-sector Tenryū Hamanako Railroad. The water tower, platform canopy and platform were listed as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties on 26 January 2011.

Because the JNR Futamata Line was intended to function as a wartime bypass for the Tōkaidō Main Line, the older Hamamatsu Railway was required to build a concrete overbridge crossing above the JNR tracks — an inversion of the usual hierarchy, where new lines bridge over older ones.
