Location

History

Yui Station opened on 15 April 1916 on the Tōkaidō Main Line between Kambara and Okitsu, in present-day Yui, Shimizu-ku, Shizuoka. Local residents had pressed for a stop since the line opened in 1889, but the request was initially denied because the area was sparsely populated; growing trade in tea, mikan and fishing-port traffic eventually prevailed. Regular freight traffic ceased on 1 October 1971, and the present station building dates from March 1979. The station became part of JR Central on 1 April 1987, gained TOICA support on 1 March 2008, and on 1 June 2025 staff were withdrawn under JR Central's remote-assistance service.

Notes

Petitions for a station here were repeatedly rejected after the Tōkaidō Main Line opened in 1889; it took roughly 27 years and the rise of the tea, mikan and fishing trades before the railway finally agreed to build Yui.
