History

Okuhamanako Station was established on 13 March 1988 as part of an expansion of services on the Tenryū Hamanako Line following the privatisation of Japanese National Railways in 1987 and the line’s conversion to third-sector operation. It is a single side-platform, unstaffed station in what is now Hamana-ku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, located 56.8 kilometres from the line’s starting point at Kakegawa. On 1 April 2022, the local company Nagasaka Apiary acquired naming rights for the station and added the subtitle "Bunbun ni Deaeru Machi" — a reference to its mascot Bunbun — to the station name. The naming-rights agreement was set to run through 31 March 2024.

Notes

The local Nagasaka Apiary acquired naming rights, and the station has been given a subsidiary name based on the beekeeping company's mascot character.
