Shiojiri

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

Shiojiri Station opened on 15 December 1902 as the temporary terminus of the Chūō Line extended from Matsumoto. The Chūō Line was pushed west of Shiojiri to Narai in 1909, and a parallel route via Midoriko opened on 5 July 1983, leaving the older Tatsuno detour as a branch. The original site sat closer to the historic post town; on 17 May 1982 the station was relocated about 600 metres to the present location, with the former yard kept as the Shiojiri-Daimon classification yard. JR East and JR Tōkai have shared the operational boundary on the Chūō Main Line since 1987. Suica acceptance and entry to the Tokyo metropolitan zone followed in April 2014.

Platforms 3 and 4 host the "one station, one product" Merlot grape trellis, tended by local volunteers, with an autumn harvest each year.
