Location
History
Kita-Fujioka Station traces its origins to the Ono Signal Station, which was set up on 1 July 1931 at the junction of the Takasaki Line and the Hachikō Line when the Hachikō Kita-sen between Kuragano and Kodama opened. Ono Signal Station was reassigned from the Takasaki Line to the Hachikō Line at some point before 1952. On 21 February 1961 a passenger station — Kita-Fujioka — opened on the same site, absorbing the signal station; its ¥1.41 million construction cost was borne entirely by the local community. JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 transferred the station to JR East, and Suica became usable on 8 February 2002. The Hachikō Line and the Takasaki Line share the same pair of tracks between Kita-Fujioka and Kuragano.
Notes
Although Kita-Fujioka sits at the Hachikō Line's junction with the Takasaki Line, only the Hachikō side has a platform: the Hachikō Line's single track merges into the Takasaki Line's down track just past the platform end. Even so, Takasaki-Line driver schedules note Kita-Fujioka in parentheses because the station retains signal-handling duties.
