History
Wadagahara Station opened on 15 October 1925 on what is now the Izuhakone Railway Daiyūzan Line. The current station building, which incorporates apartments and commercial tenants in a four-storey reinforced-concrete tower above the station, entered service on 25 March 1992. On 18 November 2024 a sub-station naming sponsorship with Odawara Paper Industries took effect, adding the by-name 'Odawara Paper Industries Group — Promoting Sustainable Business'.

Notes
Wadagahara has an island platform with two tracks and a station building on the south side; platform 1 is the building-side track and platform 2 the opposite. A ramp and stairway descend from the Fujifilm-side end of the platform, where a level crossing in the station yard connects to the main building. An Izuhakone substation sits at the Tsukahara end of the yard. The 1992 station building, in reinforced concrete and four storeys tall, contains apartments and rental commercial space and is similar in style to the building at Gohyaku-Rakan; the corner of the building houses a waiting area, office, ticket window, vending machine and a simple PASMO faregate. Despite a small Fujifilm Maemae station carrying the company name, this station — not Fujifilm Maemae — is closest to Fujifilm's visitor reception gate.
