Location
History
Shironishi Station opened on 11 November 1955 in present-day Tenryū-ku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, when Japanese National Railways rerouted the Iida Line between Sakuma and Ōzore to clear the rising waters impounded by the new Sakuma Dam. The station was therefore built on an entirely new alignment along the Misakubo River rather than as an upgrade of an older stop. Baggage/parcel handling was withdrawn on 1 December 1971 and the station has been unstaffed since February 1984. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it transferred to JR Central, and on 27 January 2008 one of its two tracks was taken out of use, leaving a single side platform in place of the former island platform.
Notes
Between Shironishi and the neighbouring station of Mukōichiba, the Iida Line crosses the Misakubo River on the Number 6 Misakubo River Bridge, known as the "S-shaped bridge" for its curving alignment.
