Location
History
Ninomiya Station opened on 15 April 1902 on the Tōkaidō Main Line, handling both passengers and freight from the start. On 1 August 1906 a connecting horse tramway, the Shōnan Bashatetsu, began running from Ninomiya to Hadano; it suspended operations in October 1935 and was formally abolished in August 1937. The station was attacked by an American P-51 on 5 August 1945, killing five people. Freight operations ended on 25 September 1971 and parcel handling on 15 March 1972. The current elevated station building was completed on 8 October 1982, and operation passed to JR East at the 1987 privatisation of JNR. Suica fare gates went live on 18 November 2001.
Notes
Takagi Toshiko, the author of the war memoir 'A Glass Rabbit', survived the 1945 strafing that killed her father at this station; a sculpture of the title rabbit, paid for by donations, was unveiled at the south exit in 1981.
