Location

History

Fruit Park Station opened on 18 March 1996 on the Tenryū Hamanako Railroad's Tenryū Hamanako Line, in what is now Hamana-ku, Hamamatsu. It is one of the stations added after the line's 1987 conversion from the JNR Futamata Line. The station has a single side platform with a small triangular-roofed station building directly on the platform; it is normally unstaffed, with seasonal staffing during Golden Week and the summer holidays when the nearby fruit park draws extra traffic. The station's name reflects the adjacent Hamamatsu Fruits Park Toki-no-Sumika, about eight minutes' walk away.

Notes

On 15 September 2019, in tie-in with a Suzuki "KATANA Meeting 2019" at the adjacent Fruits Park, the station was temporarily renamed "KATANA Station" for the day; in December 2021 Suzuki bought the naming rights and added "KATANA" as a permanent secondary name through March 2024.
