Location

History

Mikuriya Station is a petitioned station whose construction was driven by local residents. Iwata residents first submitted a petition in 1987, and the city of Iwata formally requested JR Central to build a new station in 1990. Construction began on 11 June 2016, the name 'Mikuriya' (derived from the former Mikuriya Village) was announced on 6 February 2019, the north-south free passage opened on 7 March 2020 with a completion ceremony, and the station opened for service on 14 March 2020. It was the first new station built on the Tōkaidō Main Line within Shizuoka Prefecture in 19 years, since Aino Station.

Notes

Mikuriya is a JR Central station (CA30) on the Tokaido Main Line with two side platforms, built five metres wide to handle crowds for Jubilo Iwata J.League matches at nearby Yamaha Stadium. An elevated station building sits above the platforms, reached by a free passage that crosses both the Tokaido Main Line and the parallel Tokaido Shinkansen, with north, south, and west exits; the west exit is designed for future park-and-ride. The culverted Kuranishi River crosses beneath the platforms. The north plaza carries naming rights from Yamaha Motor and is named 'Yamaha Motor Revs Circle', marked by a name-board monument.
