History
Mitsutōge Station is a stop on the Fujikyuko Line in Nishikatsura, Yamanashi Prefecture, 15.8 km from the line's terminus at Ōtsuki. It was opened on 19 June 1929 by the Fuji Sanroku Electric Railway as Onuma Station and was renamed Mitsutōge on 20 September 1943. The operator was reorganised as Fuji Kyukō in 1960, ticketing was contracted out from 1971, and Suica became accepted on 14 March 2015. In April 2022 a corporate restructuring transferred rail operations to Fuji Sanroku Electric Railway. A station-building renovation reopened on 1 May 2024 and incorporated a community facility relocated from the town hall.

Notes
Designed through a competition at Tokyo Zokei University, the rebuilt 2024 station now also houses a community room moved from the town hall, with the original 1929 building's weather-vane retained as the station's symbol.
