Location

History

Yaizu Station opened on 16 April 1889 with the completion of the Tōkaidō Main Line section between Shizuoka and Hamamatsu, and sits 193.7 kilometres from the Tokyo terminus. The line was formally given the Tōkaidō name in 1895 and became the Tōkaidō Main Line in 1909. The station building was rebuilt in reinforced concrete, partly two storeys, on 15 April 1965, and the station was given a bridge-type (overhead) building on 20 July 1975. Regularly scheduled freight service was discontinued on 1 November 1986, and the station passed to Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. TOICA service began on 1 March 2008, and JR Central assigned the station number CA20 in March 2018.

Notes

From the late 1970s until 1986 a siding here served a Sapporo Beer Shizuoka brewery; the bridge that carried the freight line across the Setogawa now forms part of a prefectural cycling road.
