History
Anayama Station opened on 1 August 1913 as a Japanese Government Railways station on the Chūō Main Line, in the Anayama district of what is today Nirasaki, Yamanashi Prefecture. It lies 154.7 kilometres from the line's eastern terminus at Tokyo Station and has one ground-level island platform connected to the station building by a footbridge. The JGR became the Japanese National Railways after the Second World War, and JR East inherited the station at the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987. The station has been unattended for many years, and automated Suica IC turnstiles were brought into service on 16 October 2004.
