Kanzo

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

Kanzō Station opened on 1 August 1959 on the Ōigawa Railway Ikawa Line, 20.5 kilometres from the line's starting point at Senzu, in Aoi-ku, Shizuoka. It is the westernmost station in the city of Shizuoka. The station has two opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing; there is no station building, only a small unstaffed shelter on the platform. Originally built to shorten the block sections through the steep gorge country, Kanzō also served Ōi River dam construction in the 1960s. Services through the station were suspended on 2 September 2014 after a landslip 600 metres to the south and resumed on 11 March 2017; the section beyond the station towards Ikawa was then closed from 8 May 2018 to 9 March 2019, and again from 21 May to 5 August 2022, with trains turning back at Kanzō.

In the past, the conductor on the first train of the day, arriving at 9:51 a.m., was contracted to deliver newspapers — copies for nearby residents were loaded onto the service and left in the station shed for collection.
