Kamijima

No publicly available departure data for this station.

Kamijima Station opened on 6 December 1909 on the line that is now the Enshū Railway Line, in what is today Chūō-ku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, 4.5 km from the Shin-Hamamatsu terminus. It was renamed Enshū-Kamijima on 1 April 1923 and reverted to Kamijima on 24 November 2012 when the line through the area was elevated. Freight handling began in September 1956 with the opening of a Nippon Oil siding south of the station and ended in 1975 after the surrounding industrial spurs were closed. The station building was rebuilt around October 1978; early-morning and late-night unstaffed operation was introduced on 1 April 1984. Reconstruction as a dual side-platform elevated station was completed in 2012, and a new east-side rotary plaza opened in April 2017.

Kamijima retained one of the country’s last rotating-fabric departure-information displays until elevation, and because the curtain mechanism could not handle ad-hoc schedules, special trains were marked with a paper “under adjustment” notice over a blank curtain.
