Location

History

Minami-Kōfu Station opened on 30 March 1928 as Kōfu-Minamiguchi Station of the Fuji-Minobu Railway, when the Ichikawa-Daimon to Kōfu segment was inaugurated. The line was leased to the Railway Ministry on 1 October 1938, at which point the station was renamed Minami-Kōfu, and it was nationalised on 1 May 1941. Parcel handling ended on 1 November 1986, and on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Central and JR Freight with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. The last freight working ceased in October 1997 and JR Freight's station was abolished on 31 March 2001. IC card use through TOICA began on 1 October 2025. The station is staffed and manages the stations from Ichikawa-Daimon to Kanente, and houses the Minobu Line's rolling-stock depot.

Notes

The station building dates from the station's opening in 1928 and was built by the Fuji-Minobu Railway to house its head office as well, which is why it is an imposing two-storey concrete structure; it remains in use today.
