Gekkoji

History

Gekkōji Station opened on 1 October 1931 as a Fuji Sanroku Electric Railway stop in what is now Midorigaoka 1-chōme, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture; its station number is FJ15. The operator's 1960 rename moved it under Fuji Kyukō, and a further corporate split shifted it back to Fuji Sanroku Denki Tetsudō on 1 April 2022. Suica IC card service began on 14 March 2015, and a barrier-free renovation of the station building completed on 29 June 2017. The stop sits on the 26.6-km Fujikyuko Line 21.9 km from the terminus at Ōtsuki, has a single side platform serving one bidirectional track, and is an outsourced operation. It takes its name from the nearby Gekkōji temple.
