Location

History

Kawaneonsen-Sasamado Station opened on 16 July 1930 as Sasamado Station, one of the original stations of the Ōigawa Railway's Ōigawa Main Line, at Sasamado in an area that later formed part of the town of Kawane and was merged into the city of Shimada, Shizuoka Prefecture, in 2008. Express services began stopping on 20 March 1999, and on 1 October 2003 the station was renamed Kawaneonsen-Sasamado to emphasise its proximity to the Kawane hot-spring resort. Service was suspended on 24 September 2022 after a landslide caused by Typhoon No. 15 of 2022 closed the line between Ieyama and Senzu; the Ieyama to Kawaneonsen-Sasamado segment reopened on 1 October 2023, when the station also became a stop for the newly created Section Express and Rapid services. From 26 April 2025 the limited-express Kikansha Thomas service began picking up and setting down passengers here.

Notes

Although the line beyond Kawaneonsen-Sasamado to Senzu has been closed since the 2022 typhoon, the substitute Kawanehonchō municipal bus does not call at the station itself, terminating at Ieyama instead and stopping only at the nearby Kawane Onsen Hotel.
