Location

History

Shionosawa Station opened on 1 September 1933 as a signal stop on the original Fuji-Minobu Line, in what is now Minobu, Yamanashi Prefecture. It was upgraded to a full station on 1 June 1934. With the absorption of the private Fuji-Minobu Line into the state network the station came under Japanese Government Railways control on 1 May 1941, then under Japanese National Railways after the Second World War, and finally to JR Central at the JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. The Minobu Line still serves the station, which has a single side platform on a single bi-directional track. There is no station building; passengers wait under a small platform shelter at this unstaffed stop near the Fuji River.

Notes

Shionosawa spent its first nine months as a signal stop, from its opening on 1 September 1933 until it was licensed as a full station on 1 June 1934. It lies 45.7 kilometres from the southern terminus of the Minobu Line at Fuji Station.
