Washizu Station (鷲津駅 Washizu-eki) is a railway station on the Tōkaidō Main Line of Central Japan Railway Company in Kosai, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The station is 276.6 rail kilometers from Tokyo and is approximately at the half-way point on the Tōkaidō Main Line between Tokyo Station and Nagoya Station.
History
On September 1, 1888 the section of the Tōkaidō Main Line connecting Hamamatsu Station with Ōbu Station was completed, and a rail siding was established at the site of present-day Washizu Station. As the area was completely rural at the time, stops were discontinued from August 1892; however, due to the strong petition by the surrounding villages, a station was established on January 10, 1915 for both passenger service and freight. Freight service was discontinued on April 26, 1971.
