Location

History

Kokubo Station opened on 30 March 1928 as a station of the Fuji-Minobu Railway when the Ichikawadaimon–Kōfu section opened, in what is now the town of Shōwa in Nakakoma District, Yamanashi Prefecture. The railway was leased by the Ministry of Railways from October 1938 and nationalised on 1 May 1941, the station becoming part of the government-run Minobu Line. Freight handling ended in November 1960 and parcel service in September 1972, and the station became unstaffed from June 1983. It passed to JR Central at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. From 1 October 2025, the IC card "TOICA" became usable at the station. Although administratively located in Shōwa, the municipal boundary with the city of Kōfu runs through the station.

Notes

The boundary between the town of Showa and the city of Kofu runs through the middle of the station; the platforms lie mostly on the Kofu side, while the station building falls just inside Showa.
