Location

History

Miyaguchi Station opened on 1 June 1940 when the Ministry of Railways' Futamata Line was extended westward from Enshū-Mori Station to Kanasashi, in what is now Hamana-ku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture. Scheduled freight services were withdrawn from June 1962. The station came under the Tenryū Hamanako Railroad on 15 March 1987 when the Futamata Line was transferred to third-sector operation. It has two opposed side platforms linked to the modest station building by a level crossing, and remains unattended. On 26 January 2011 the main station building together with the up platform, and the waiting shelter together with the down platform, were listed as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan.

Notes

Before the Futamata Line opened, a separate narrow-gauge line — the Seien Tramway — ran from a different Miyaguchi station just south of today's site to what is now Entetsu's Hamakita Station, between 1924 and 1937.
