History

Kamiichiba Station first opened on 12 June 1935 as the Sanshin Kamiichiba Signal Stop on the privately operated Sanshin Railway, in present-day Tenryū Ward, Hamamatsu. When the Sanshin Railway was nationalised on 1 August 1943 and folded into the Iida Line, the stop was abolished. It was reopened as a fully fledged passenger station of the Ministry of Transport's Iida Line on 1 December 1946, although until December 1952 only passengers travelling to and from a fixed list of stations were permitted to use it. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station became part of JR Central. The station consists of a single side platform and a small unstaffed building, today managed remotely from Chūbu-Tenryū Station.

Notes

The 0.6 km distance from Kamiichiba to the next station, Izumma, is the shortest gap between adjacent stations on the entire Iida Line.
