History

Numakubo Station opened on 1 March 1929 as the Numakubo Halt of the privately built Fuji-Minobu Railway, promoted to full station status when the rail ministry leased the line on 1 October 1938. Full nationalisation followed in May 1941, attaching the station to the JGR Minobu Line, and JR Central took over at the 1987 privatisation. The station consists of a single ground-level side platform set on a high embankment, with no station building and only a small wooden shelter. In fiscal 2021 the station averaged just six boardings a day, the lowest on the Minobu Line within Shizuoka.

Notes

The platform is celebrated locally for its uninterrupted view of Mount Fuji; two stone monuments in front of the station carry poems by Kyoshi Takahama composed on this spot, alongside a verse by his pupil Tsutsumi Haiikka.
