Shin-shimizu

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Shin-Shimizu Station is the eastern terminus of the Shizuoka Railway's Shizuoka–Shimizu Line, 11.0 kilometres from the opposite terminus at Shin-Shizuoka. It opened on 18 May 1908 as Tsujimura Station on the original Shizuoka Railway, becoming part of Dai-Nippon Kidō later that year. The corporate parent changed repeatedly over the following decades — Sun'en Denki in 1919, Shizuoka Electric Railway in 1923 and finally the present Shizuoka Tetsudō through merger in 1943 — and the station was renamed Ejiri Shindō in around 1918, Shimizu Aioi-chō on 29 March 1933 and Shin-Shimizu on 1 October 1954. Automated ticket gates were installed on 1 September 1992. The two-storey tenant building that long served as the station was largely demolished in 2008.

Trains approach the station around a sharp curve and gradient where speed is limited to 25 km/h. A scissors crossover once stood at the level crossing just before the platforms, but 1000-series trains could not pass through it, so on their introduction it was moved to the Shin-Shizuoka side of the Tomoe-gawa bridge.
